Grace Kuo,
PharmD, MPH, Associate Professor of Clinical Pharmacy, Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences; and Associate Professor of Family and Preventive Medicine, School of Medicine,
University of California, San Diego
Dr. Kuo is Associate Professor of Clinical Pharmacy in the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and Associate Adjunct Professor of Family and Preventive Medicine at the School of Medicine at UCSD. She serves as the Director of San Diego Pharmacist Resource and Research Network and the Director of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy Practice-Based Research Network.
Before pursuing a career in clinical pharmacy, Dr. Kuo received her undergraduate degree in psychobiology at UCLA. After receiving her pharmacy degrees from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Oregon State University/Oregon Health Sciences University, she completed postdoctoral training at the W. G. Magnuson Clinical Center at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland. Dr. Kuo also received a master of public health degree in health promotion and health education from the University of Texas.
Dr. Kuos research focuses on medication safety in the ambulatory care setting. She has received federal research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Her research includes studying the effects of electronic medical records and patients health literacy on medication safety. She has a clinical scientist development award to evaluate the best practices for safe use of medications in the primary care setting. In addition, she is collaborating with other clinicians, educators, and researchers to start a shared curriculum related to pharmacogenomics education.

Joseph Ma,
PharmD, Assistant Professor,
University of California, San Diego, Skaggs School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences
Joseph D. Ma, PharmD is an Assistant Professor at the University of California San Diego, Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. He received his Pharmacy Doctorate from the University of California, San Francisco. He then completed a 2-year fellowship in clinical pharmacology at Bassett Healthcare, Cooperstown, NY. Upon fellowship completion, Dr. Ma was employed at Amgen, Inc. and was responsible for phase I protocol development and study operational and managerial functions. Dr. Ma joined UCSD in 2007. He serves as co-coordinator for the winter quarter Therapeutics course and for a spring quarter elective titled Drug Discovery, Development, and Commercialization. His research interests are in examining pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic variability and in the optimization of drugs as probes to phenotype drug-metabolizing enzyme activity.

Questions, Answers, and Discussion
Learning Objectives:
LEARNER OUTCOMES:
- Compare the risks and benefits of pharmacogenomic testing for a medication based upon primary literature evidence.
- For each therapeutic area, identify the pharmacogenomic testing that is available to determine therapeutic or toxic outcomes for a medication.
- Identify key therapeutic areas in which pharmacogenomic testing can be applied in the clinical setting.
- Summarize the recommendations for pharmacogenomic testing based upon recommendations from the Evaluation of Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention (EGAPP), other agencies (e.g. FDA), and published literature.
- Using patient case scenarios, formulate a plan for pharmacogenomic testing based upon available scientific evidence, ethical issues, and feasibility.
