“This book is an essential resource for healthcare providers as we fast-forward to affordable gene se-
quencing for identifying, understanding, and treating individuals based on the merger/convergence
of therapeutic treatment and personalized genetic information. This is critical reading for those
already practicing and teaching and required reading for those preparing to launch their careers as
professional clinicians.”

“Mastering Pharmacogenomics: A Nurse’s Handbook for Success is an excellent resource explaining
the fundamentals of tailored medicine. The strength of the book is in the clarity with which complex
concepts are presented, aided by features such as nurse-centered case examples and end-of-chapter
summaries. This book is an easy-to-read, accessible volume, making it a “must have” for the library of
every level of nurse, from student to advanced practice.”

“We are at a point in time where we have a critical mass of knowledge about the effect of genomic
variability on health. Current and future healthcare providers need to have a basic understanding of
pharmacogenomics and be able to use this information to inform practice and communicate with pa-
tients. Mastering Pharmacogenomics: A Nurse’s Handbook for Success covers the basic science content
needed to understand the current science of pharmacogenomics but has the added value of providing
real-life applicability of crucial concepts. The book is extremely well organized, discusses important
pharmacogenomics concepts within specific populations, addresses key ethical considerations, and
provides online resources that will help to keep the content current for the reader. Educators of fu-
ture healthcare providers, current healthcare providers, and students will all benefit from gaining
an understanding of pharmacogenomics through the patient-centered approach used in Mastering
Pharmacogenomics: A Nurse’s Handbook for Success.”

, “Authored by experts in their field, this book provides a wealth of current and well-referenced phar-
macogenomics material. It will be invaluable to the growing number of healthcare courses requiring
students to study genomics. Readers are provided with a text covering the necessary biological frame-
work. However, the uniqueness of this book is that it retains its practice focus on real-world health-
care applications.”
