Precision Medicine Consult, Research, and Education Hub
The PRECISE CaRE Hub aims to provide support and educate healthcare providers, patients, and the public about pharmacogenomic testing and conduct clinical research studies. The Hub aims to identify what immediate and long-term strategies can be employed to better support healthcare providers and patients in the use of pharmacogenomic-supported prescribing. The Hub is located at the University of Manitoba College of Pharmacy within it's Clinical Research Unit in collaboration with the PsycHealth Centre within the Health Sciences Centre and the Department of Psychiatry, Max Rady College of Medicine, University of Manitoba. One of the major focus of the hub is to implement pharmacogenomics into clinical practice.
