Abstract: Abstract: This first event of a two-part series will introduce PGx testing, examining its relevance for minorities and stigmatized disorders, and its potential in mitigating the global mental health crisis. Panelists will delve into questions concerning access and the promotion of culturally sensitive practices in psychiatric care. What strategies can enhance the representation of historically marginalized populations in the evidence used to validate PGX tests? What safeguards are necessary to ensure that clinicians adequately balance PGx testing with other assessment methods?
