The University of Florida’s online graduate certificate in Clinical Pharmacogenomics was designed to meet the needs of clinicians interested in incorporating pharmacogenomics and precision medicine principles into practice. Course content will provide an overview of scientific concepts and pragmatic factors influencing clinical implementation of pharmacogenomics in various practice settings, including foundational knowledge of genetics and pharmacogenomics, implementation science principles and quality assurance and communication within clinical programs.
Program Overview
This 11-credit online graduate certificate program can be completed in 1 year (12 months) or three semesters. Typically, most students opt for the one-year plan, while some working professionals may take more than one year to complete. Students have up to seven years to complete the program from the date of admission. Please note that students who not enroll in at least one class for more than two consecutive semesters will become inactive and need to reapply for readmission into the program.
