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.

“We find that the child who does not yet have language at his command, the child under two and a half, will be able to cooperate with our education if we go easy on the “blocking” techniques, the outright prohibitions, the “no’s” and go heavy on “substitution” techniques, that is, the redirection or certain impulses and the offering of substitute satisfactions.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“What education is to the individual man, revelation is to the human race. Education is revelation coming to the individual man, and revelation is education that has come, and is still coming to the human race.”
