Responsibilities

Review, interpret, and sign out molecular diagnostic and pharmacogenomics (PGx) reports, including germline and somatic testing relevant to older adults (e.g., drug metabolism genes, pharmacokinetic variants, etc.)

Evaluate residents’ molecular/PGx profiles to guide pharmaceutical compatibility, optimize medication regimens, reduce polypharmacy, and mitigate adverse drug reactions

Serve as liaison to external diagnostic laboratories for referrals (sending out testing), ensuring quality, turnaround times, and appropriate assay selection

Oversee validation and selection of molecular assays/panels relevant to LTC populations; ensure compliance with regulatory requirements (CLIA, CAP, etc.) and lab best practices

Work collaboratively with facility medical staff, pharmacists, geriatricians, and nursing leadership to embed PGx insights into care plans
