Precision medicine is lifesaving. But why don’t all people receive it when they need it? The Institute for Genomics Education, Workforce & Leadership at Sarah Lawrence College has connected with many leaders who identify disparities in precision medicine access and use. This is especially true in the area of oncology - where precision medicine is widely recommended, yet there is a documented lack of utilization.

Join us for part two of the Path to Precision Health Virtual Seminar Series, More Than Access: What Patients Want from Precision Oncology, as we explore patient perspectives on the state of precision health. Each panelist, a healthcare leader with lived experience in navigating precision oncology, will share their journey to highlight the gaps that exist and offer their recommendations on how to close them.
