The Vanderbilt Genomic Medicine Training Program helps researcher launch careers in pharmacogenomics, precision phenotyping, medical informatics, and disease-based genomics. The program has 32 highly collaborative and well-funded faculty preceptors who provide both basic and clinical research training opportunities to both PhD-level and MD-level postdoctoral fellows. Trainees will participate in rotations, internships, seminars, journal clubs, and retreats and interact with other trainees and faculty. The program builds on decades-long strengths in critical enabling resources, such as BioVU (the largest biobank linking DNA samples to electronic medical records at a single academic institution), participation in the Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) network and eMERGE coordinating center, the Implementing Genomics in Practice (IGNITE) Network, the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) and the Pharmacogenomic Resource for Enhanced Decisions In Care and Treatment (PREDICT) project, which embeds genetic information in patient EMRs to guide drug and dosage choices.
