Medisys Health Seminar on Genetic Testing
Medisys is pleased to announce our third health seminar of 2011 for executive and human resources professionals on the topic of genetic testing.
In events held earlier this year, attendees had the opportunity to learn more about mental health issues facing Canadian employers, as well as women’s cancers.
In October, Dr. Clarissa Desjardins, CEO of the Centre of Excellence in Personalized Medicine, will introduce Personalized Medicine, a rapidly evolving branch of medicine and present the benefits and implications of genetic testing. She will also explain how your genetic profile can help to identify health conditions that you may be at a higher risk of developing, predict how you will respond to certain medications and determine your likelihood of passing along genetic markers to your children.
Dr. Desjardins will be sharing her insights into Personalized Medicine at seminars in Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal on the following dates:
- October 24 –Calgary
- October 25 –Vancouver
- October 26 –Toronto
- October 27 –Ottawa
- October 28 –Montreal
The sessions are free of charge but by invitation only. If you haven’t received an invitation and wish to attend, please contact us at events@medisys.ca and we will be happy to add you to the attendee list if room is available.
