Pharmacogenomic‐based personalized medicine: Multistakeholder perspectives on implementational drivers and barriers in the Canadian healthcare system

Abstract Pharmacogenomics (PGx)‐based personalized medicine (PM) is increasingly utilized to guide treatment decisions for many drug‐disease combinations. Notably, London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) has pioneered a PGx program that has become a staple for London‐based specialists. Although impleme...
