Personalized Medicine Summit: Transforming the Practice of Medicine

Posted on Apr 27, 2015 2:36:00 PM

 
Summit - Vancouver, Canada
 
The intent of this summit, organized by the Life Science Institute, University of British Columbia, in partnership with the Personalized Medicine Initiative, Genome BC, CDRD, Proof Centre of Excellence and LifeScience BC, is to make recommendations on the best practices for the implementation of Personalized Medicine (PM) in British Columbia and Canada. In many ways BC constitutes an ideal testing ground for putting a Personalized Medicine programme into practice, with its highly integrated single payer health care system, its ethnically diverse, well educated population, and its advanced expertise in the development and application of molecularly-based medicine.
Leading international experts will provide overview lectures to give global perspective, and will also serve as panel members to discuss the key issues involved in the implementation of best practices for a broad Personalized Medicine programme. The deliverable of the summit meeting will be a White Paper containing recommendations to stakeholder groups (BC and Canadian governments, industry, physicians and health care providers, educators, researchers, populace).
The summit promises to be one of the most important personalized medicine conferences of the coming year in terms of making concrete recommendations for implementation into the front lines of medical care. It is particularly important for implementation of molecularly-based personalized medicine approaches into clinical practice in BC.
