Episode 71: Medicine Designed for You

Combining pharmacology and genomics helps doctors choose the right drugs and correct doses for each person’s genetic makeup, aiming to make treatments safer and more effective.

Join us as we explore pharmacogenomics and its importance in developing personalized care that helps patients get the right treatment quickly. We’ll explore how OSF HealthCare is beginning to use this process in cancer treatment, including one drug-and-gene pairing designed to help prevent known unwanted side effects.

Host Shelli Dankoff chats with Sandy Salverson, PharmD, senior vice president, Pharmacy Services and chief pharmacy officer, OSF HealthCare, and Ryan Loudermilk, director, Performance Improvement, OSF HealthCare, to discuss the benefits and limitations of pharmacogenomics, what patients should know, and what may be next as OSF continues exploring this approach.
