Education
There are several universities increasing their focus on personalized medicine and certain related areas. One difficulty is that medical education in all countries does not provide adequate genetic instruction.
Some universities are developing relevant sub-specialties of medicine for personalized medicine, which depending on the emphasis can also be termed molecular medicine or even prospective medicine. These include, Duke University, Harvard, The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. A medical school is currently being constructed in Arizona, to teach the field of personalized medicine; this is a project of Arizona State University and the not-for-profit Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen). Lastly, the first private medical practice focusing solely on Personalized Medicine, Helix Health of Connecticut, is currently teaching medical residents about the utility of pharmacogenomics and family history in personalized medicine.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“He was the product of an English public school and university. He was, moreover, a modern product of those seats of athletic exercise. He had little education and highly developed muscles—that is to say, he was no scholar, but essentially a gentleman.”
—H. Seton Merriman (1862–1903)
“Since [Rousseau’s] time, and largely thanks to him, the Ego has steadily tended to efface itself, and, for purposes of model, to become a manikin on which the toilet of education is to be draped in order to show the fit or misfit of the clothes. The object of study is the garment, not the figure.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us. That the whole South should commit itself to the principle that the colored people have a right to be educated is an immense acquisition to the cause of popular education.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
