Pharmacogenomics; the Importance of the Individual | Kate Ragan | TEDxRockhill

Kate Ragan is a pharmacy student who looks beyond the medications. She knows firsthand how important genetics are and how big of an impact they can make, particularly in the treatment of an illness. She hopes to advance the healthcare field through the use of pharmacogenetics. Take a look at the importance of the individual. No two people are alike - and their medical treatments shouldn't be either. Kate Ragan of the UMKC School of Pharmacy explores how the emerging and exciting field of pharmacogenomics can reset our traditional approach to medicine. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
