Personalized Medicine and the Patient

November 14 – 15, 2022 • Hotel Commonwealth, Boston, MA

Recognizing that the emergence of more than 75,000 genetic testing products and 300 personalized medicines over the previous two decades had not transformed most patients’ predominantly trial-and-error experiences with the health care system as many had anticipated they would following the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003, the Personalized Medicine Coalition convened patients, patient advocates, and leading luminaries representing more than 30 institutional partners at the Hotel Commonwealth in Boston on November 14 and 15, 2022, to explore best practices and policies designed to increase personalized medicine’s clinical impact with attention to patients’ priorities for the future of health and medicine. By pointing patients, clinicians, and industry leaders toward solutions that can help bridge the gap between what is possible and what is practiced in modern medicine, the Personalized Medicine and the Patient summit helped light the way toward a brighter future for patients and health systems.
