UPCP 2014
We are pleased to inform you
that UPCP 2014 – Up Close and Personalized – The 3rd
International Congress on Personalized Medicine will take place in Prague , Czech Republic
Following the
great success of the previous meetings in Florence and Paris, the main focus of
the third Up Close and Personalized Congress is to examine the essential
clinical, genomic, proteomic, metabolomic, pharmacogenomic, biomarker data and
imaging necessary to predict, prevent and treat major medical conditions
concerning metabolism (diabetes and obesity), and cancer.

Illumina presents free e-learning webinar: ‘Genomics in Clinical Practice’
Illumina specialize in genomic testing
in a number of therapeutic areas and currently they support a series of four
ACCME accredited e-learning webinars for Physicians titled ‘Genomics in
Clinical Practice’. This series, which
was developed and is currently launched by the American College of Medical
Genetics (ACMG) in the US, aims to help physicians and other healthcare
professionals who are not board-certified geneticists to understand genomics in
the clinical setting.
The educational programs currently
available as CME (Continuing Medical Education) e-learning webinars are:
*
Cystic Fibrosis Carrier Screening
*
Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPS)
*
Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis and Screening (PGD/PGS)
* Understanding Your Genome: Genomics in
Clinical Practice
The first three programs listed above
consist of 2-3 hour webinars containing several modules which address different
aspects of the application of genomic testing to the particular area of clinical
use. In addition the ACMG has also
released a 3 hour recorded CME program as part of the series: Understanding
Your Genome: Genomics in Clinical Practice Symposium, which focuses on the full
spectrum of genetic testing applications, educating physicians on the basics of
clinical genome and exome sequencing while explaining the utility these tests
can have for patients. All of these CME programs are presented by recognized
experts in the field.
I have attached the individual
e-brochures for each of the respective programs for your review and also this
link to the ACMG education portal<https://www.acmg.net/ACMG/Education/Genomics_in_Clinical_Practice_Educational_Series/ACMG/Education/Genomics_in_Clinical_Practice_Educational_Series/Genomics_in_Clinical_Practice.aspx?hkey=353eb6a3-da47-4626-ba93-251424b85e39>
