SCIENTIFIC PLENARY
Precision Medicine: The Future Is Now
Julie Johnson, Pharm.D. and Kristin Wiisanen, Pharm.D., will lead the Scientific Plenary beginning at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, July 15 in the Grand Ballroom.

Pharmacists are increasingly being called upon to serve as leaders and change agents to implement precision medicine in practice, particularly in the area of pharmacogenomics. However, practice‐ and evidence‐based educational standards, resources, and training programs to prepare future pharmacists to implement precision medicine remain limited. At the Science Plenary, Julie Johnson, Pharm.D., dean and distinguished professor in the University of Florida College of Pharmacy, Kristin Wiisanen, Pharm.D., clinical professor in the University of Florida College of Pharmacy, will provide an overview of the current science and practice in precision medicine and identify education and training needs and strategies to prepare the future pharmacy workforce for a leadership role in precision medicine implementation.
