An essential resource for understanding the scientific underpinnings of this emerging discipline, Pharmacogenomics: Applications to Patient Care is designed to prepare pharmacists to integrate pharmacogenomic principles into practice. 
This book contains three modules in which the basics of genetics and pharmacogenomics are described and applications to specific therapeutic areas are highlighted. Each module includes content outlines, learning objectives, key words and abstracts, self-assessment questions and explained answers, and references to reinforce learning. 
Pharmacogenomics: Applications to Patient Care is available in print and online formats. Continuing pharmacy education credit is available. 
Module 1: Fundamentals of Applied Human Genomics Introduces genetics and molecular and cellular biology, and how these disciplines can be used to explain the possible genetic basis for variability in drug response. Also discussed is the application of bioinformatics studies to pharmacogenomics and ethical issues in genomics. 
Module 2: Fundamentals of Pharmacogenomics Introduces the pharmacogenetics of oxidative drug metabolism, along with potential applications to tailoring drug therapy. A discussion of drug transporter pharmacogenetics includes localization and function, genetic variability, and clinical consequences. Drug target pharmacogenomics and pharmacogenetics, including the role of genetic variability in drug targets on drug efficacy and toxicity, and application to individualize drug therapy are explored. 
Module 3: Pharmacogenomic Applications in Patient Care Describes current and future pharmacogenomic applications for several therapeutic areas, including oncology and hematology, cardiovascular disease, infectious diseases, respiratory diseases, psychiatry, and transplantation.

Pharmacogenomics: Applications to Patient Care

ACCP's book Re-visioning Professional Education: An Orientation to Teaching presents educational principles that describe how learning takes place and offers a vision for the type of education required to prepare practitioners for providing pharmaceutical care. This newly released book is designed for both new and experienced clinical faculty and preceptors. Author Thomas D. Zlatic, PhD, Professor of English and Director of the Writing Center at St. Louis College of Pharmacy, St. Louis, MO, invites readers to take instructional approaches beyond conveyance of information and to embrace a philosophy, style, and manner of teaching that leads students to master the general and professional abilities necessary for competent pharmacy practice. Dr. Zlatic discusses the nature of teaching, addressing the premise that teaching, as a profession, is based on fiducial or covenantal relationships. He makes a strong case for clinical educators promoting an active learning that prepares practitioners to provide pharmaceutical care in all its dimensions, including knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values. He presents rationales for incorporating higher order thinking into the pharmacy curriculum and offers strategies for active learning to motivate students to attain educational goals related to the mission of pharmacy practice. Chapter topics include defining and teaching critical thinking within professional contexts, devising active learning strategies that help students to practice professional abilities, using assessment to structure learning, and employing writing to learn methodologies within professional courses and practice experiences. Although he states in the book's preface that Re-visioning Professional Education is more an orientation to pharmacy education than a "how-to" book, Dr. Zlatic nonetheless presents a wealth of practical teaching tips throughout the book, in addition to addressing the philosophical basis of teaching.
