During her session, Dr. Schultz will share how Sanford Imagenetics implemented a comprehensive pharmacogenomic program and, most recently, a PGx clinic across the large rural health care system.
Sanford Imagenetics’ PGx clinic opened in April 2022 inside its Sanford Imagenetics building in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, offering both in-person and video visits for patients to learn more about PGx and how their personal genetic results may affect them throughout their lifetime. The focus of the clinic is to help understand how some commonly used over-the-counter and prescription medications interact with a patient’s genetic makeup.
