Genomics Companies
Genomic medicine research and clinical applications are growing exponentially. There is currently a significant gap between the widespread use of this new technology and reliable evidence that provides guidelines for clinical use. Medivo physicians are able to order specific molecular diagnostic and genetic tests, with validated evidence, on patients with the appropriate clinical need. Competency for Medivo physicians is established through case-based learning with pre- and post-program evaluations.
Medivo’s genomic medicine-trained physicians help people:
-Learn more about their responsiveness to medications, and provide the results to their personal physicians for treatment
-Understand their risks for certain traits or chronic conditions, such as diabetes and dyslipidemia, helping promote behavior changes to improve their health
-Have more insight into their chances of developing specific diseases associated with lifestyle, such as lung cancer in smokers, and make healthier decisions based on this information
Below is an example of a video created by Medivo for a client needing to improve the process of informed consent for consumers preparing for genetic testing.
