Clinical Implications of Opioid Pharmacogenomics - 1 CME

This presentation will first provide an overview of opioid pharmacology and clinical usage through the scope of available pharmacogenomics data. There will be much time focused on individual opioid metabolism and how genetic polymorphisms can alter the effectiveness and safety of these medications. At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:

1. Discuss opioid pharmacology, analgesic potency, and major metabolism pathways
2. Review current literature and guideline recommendations surrounding the use of pharmacogenomics for pain management
3. Develop a pain management plan for a patient using pharmacogenomic data
