Goals

The Oncology Genomics Certificate Program is an interactive, practice-based program designed to help clinical pharmacists develop skills in interpreting genomic reports, developing treatment plans based on genomic data and interacting with an inter-professional molecular oncology team.

Learning Objectives:

• Demonstrate appropriate use of basic genetic concepts and nomenclature, and how genetic variation contributes to inter-individual variability in drug response.
• Apply genomic knowledge to evaluate genomic reports and develop therapeutic plans.
• Participate in an interprofessional molecular oncology team to interpret molecular testing results and develop a therapeutic plan.
• Educate patients and health care professionals about the principles of clinical pharmacogenomics, including clinical utility, cost-effectiveness, reimbursement, and ethical, legal, and social implications of pharmacogenomic testing.

Competencies

Domain 1 – Foundational Knowledge

Domain 2 – Essentials for Practice and Care

Domain 3 – Approach to Practice and Care

Requisites

Learner must complete:

• the asychronous online portions of the program consist of 4 self-study modules. Participants should expect to spend approximately 8 hours on the online material. Participants will watch a video, complete an online exercise, and contribute to an online discussion thread
• the live portion of the program delivered virtually will include 12 hours of interactive presentations, case-based learning activities, and participant discussions.
  • Module 2 will consist of 2 hours and includes an interactive exercise and a video chat.
  • Module 3 will consist of 2 hours and includes interactive report interpretation and a video chat.
  • Module 7 will consist of 1 hour and include a facilitated discussion.
  • Module 8 will consist of 1 hour and include a practice activity.
  • Module 9 will consist of 2 hours and include presentation to a mock tumor board.
  • Module 10 will consist of 3 hours and will include preparing a patient case for an MTB meeting, a pre-meeting practice presentation, presenting at the MTB meeting and evaluating the presentation of another participant at an MTB meeting.
  • Module 11 will include a 1-hour live session covering concluding thoughts and next steps for participants.
• Activity Evaluation
• Participant Evaluation

Technical Requirements

A computer with a high speed internet connection and audio is necessary. A webcam is preferred, but not required.

Instructional Design

A combination of live (virtually, synchronous) and online (pre-recorded, asynchronous) modules will encourage participants to interact with instructors and peers for an enhanced educational experience. The online/pre-recorded content will be accessible through Canvas by Instructure. The live content will be delivered via Zoom at various times throughout the course. The curricular basis for the program, length of modules (contact hours), and practice opportunities are outlined in the table below.

Faculty Expertise

Program faculty, led by Program Director Jill Kolesar, developed the curriculum to address the Program outcomes. Faculty divided content presentations according to their respective areas of expertise/practice. Presentation platforms, practice opportunities, assessments, and feedback were all developed by the faculty to maximize convenience of flip-classroom teaching and live team-based learning.

The means of communication for this program will be via the learning management system, Canvas for Instructure (for pre-recorded modules) or Zoom (for live modules). Throughout the entire program, the instructors are available by email or phone to answer questions and provide feedback.

Schedule of Review

Content and learning materials will be reviewed prior to and after each offering of the Activity.

Activity Evaluation

Electronic Program Evaluations will be performed at the conclusion of the program and required prior to issuing certificates and CPE.

Participant Evaluation

To receive continuing pharmacy education credit and a certificate upon completion of the program, participants must receive a 70% or better on each of the exercises, participate in each discussion post, attend all of the program-specific online synchronous content, and attend the seven live sessions (via Zoom).  Two attempts will be allowed for each graded exercise.

Program Practice Activities and Assessments:
Each module/week runs from Tuesday through Monday. See the separate schedule for weekly details and due dates. The activities and assessments in this program include: 

        Videos: Watch pre-recorded videos of Module 1, 4, 5, and 6 covering various pharmacogenomics topics.

        Discussion Posts: Complete 4 discussion posts for Modules 1, 4, 5, and 6. Each discussion post is due at the
            end of the wek. 
        Live Video Chats: Attend four live video chats -- Module 1, Module 2, Module 8, and Module 9 

        Exercises: Complete online exercises for the specified modules. Each exercise is due at the end of the week.

• Attend and participate in program-specific live content (see schedule below). 
• MTB Participation: Prepare MTB case, participate in a live practice session and present MTB case during a Zoom conference call; evaluate another's performance during a second MTB meeting.
   

The American College of Clinical Pharmacy is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education.
