Education

  

St. Jude provides robust educational opportunities for trainees in pharmacogenomics.

PGY2-Clinical Pharmacogenomics Residency

St. Jude is home to the first ASHP-accredited PGY2-Clinical Pharmacogenomics Residency. Our institution was instrumental in successfully petitioning then ASHP commission on credentialing to create this specialty PGY2-residency. The residents who train in this program have gone on to a variety of positions at other prestigious institutions.
