Efficacy of Personal Pharmacogenomic Testing as an Educational Tool in the Pharmacy Curriculum

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy
• Interventions: Genetic: Personal genomic educational testing (PGET); Genetic: No personal genomic educational testing (NPGET)

• Registration Number: NCT04889014
• Lead Sponsor: University of Arizona

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of personal genomic educational testing (PGET) on student knowledge and clinical skills surrounding pharmacogenomic testing to ensure it is of educational benefit to our student population. Students will be provided the opportunity to opt-in to test their own pharmacogenomic panel while participating in the standard curriculum. Students will have the option of using their own reports or dummy reports during classroom activities. Our hypothesis is that those students who have their own pharmacogenomics tested will show better overall performance.
