Dr Lori Orlando, is visiting the Division of Primary Care on 3rd June 2015 and will be giving a presentation called “Family Health History: The Embodiment of Genomic and Precision Medicine”. Lori is Associate Professor of Medicine at the Duke Center for Applied Genomics & Precision Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine in North Carolina, USA.
Family health history is a well-accepted but frequently under-appreciated component of the medical interview. When standardised and applied consistently across populations it yields a wealth of information about disease risk and appropriate management of individual patients. This talk will elaborate on how family health history is truly the forerunner to genomic and precision medicine, how it still serves as the bedrock to implementing precision medicine, and how emerging tools can be used to integrate it into clinical workflow.
This seminar is part of a Joint Seminar Programme organised by the Division of Primary Care and the Division of Epidemiology and Public Health at the School of Medicine.
