The NHGRI Inter-Society Coordinating Committee for Practitioner Education in Genomics (ISCC-PEG) aims to improve genomic literacy of healthcare professionals and enhance the effective practice of clinical genomic medicine by facilitating interactions among the key stakeholders in genomics education.

The Pharmacogenomics (PGx) Project Group has developed the pharmacogenomics educational modules. The activities can be taken independently either free of charge or for continuing education credit depending upon the learner needs.
