Nowadays, the majority of primary care professionals are not prepared to deal with issues related to precision medicine.
Frontliners is a training program that offers basic and advanced training opportunities to primary care professionals (PCPs) including physicians, pharmacists and nurses to support them in delivering high-value information, advice and care in precision medicine (PM) to their patients.
Five online modules have been included in the launch of Frontliners: an introduction to precision medicine, shared decision-making, genomic testing, pharmacogenetics and precision medicine in primary care.
Objective
- Offer an online platform with practical ready to use content
- Provide onsite learning and networking opportunities
- Present quality resources and information on PM
- Bringing together the best experts as teachers and mentors
