Precision Medicine Consult, Research, and Education Hub
The PRECISE CaRE Hub aims to consult and educate healthcare providers, patients, and the public about pharmacogenomic testing and conduct clinical research studies. We also want to implement Manitoba’s first pharmacogenomic testing service for patients seeking care for mental illness (PGx-SUPPORT: Pharmacogenomics-Supported Psychotropic Prescribing Trial in Manitoba). We also aim to develop educational programs and materials (e.g., CPD, graduate certificate, and seminar (lunch/learn) series on cases and implementation) on pharmacogenomics for healthcare providers.
