Session Abstract – PMWC 2020 Silicon Valley


UPMC Primary Care Precision Medicine is a novel delivery model launched in 2019 to meet the growing demands for the integration of genomics into primary care. Our multidisciplinary team includes a Family Medicine physician, clinical pharmacist, genetic counselor and nutritionist. This team is developing clinical pathways for the application and accessibility to precision medicine technologies in everyday health care, including PGx, genetic cancer risk assessment, prenatal carrier screening, and education around direct-to-consumer testing. This model was developed to meet the demands of undirected patient need and to serve as a bridge to overcome the knowledge gap barrier of primary care providers to delivery of genomic services.
