Description: In this presentation, we will dive into the intricate ethical landscape of pharmacogenomics, navigating through highly discussed dilemmas. As pharmacogenomics continues to revolutionize healthcare, it brings forth ethical considerations that demand careful examination. From issues surrounding genetic privacy to equitable access and the impact of patient autonomy, we will explore the moral compass guiding the integration of pharmacogenomics into clinical practice, and how we can utilize resources available in AH-MW and literature to approach these dilemmas.
