Personalized medicine represents a new approach to disease prevention, primary diagnosis and individualized therapy choice. The educational process should cover the requirements of all levels across society.
Personalized medicine will place significant demands on personal understanding, healthcare organization and the economy. The educational process should focus on both the non-professional (general) population and professionals working in personalized medicine.
This process should start with the field-related education already implemented at elementary schools in some countries. The general population should be provided with sufficient information.
The professional educational process should not only involve universities, but also diagnostic and pharmaceutical companies, healthcare providers / insurance companies, communication media and related non-profit organizations. The educational process should be run as a network at national and international levels.
It should result in national and European guidelines for personalized medicine. This contribution highlights the existing and proposed programs for specialized education in personalized medicine in the Czech Republic.
