AB Progress  in  research:  The  past  decade  has  yielded  unprecedented  new  insights  into  the  role  of  genetics  in  disease  risk  and  treatment  response.  Some  of  these  insights  are  ready  to  be  utilized  in  clinical  care.Focus  for  initial  translation:  Pharmacogenomics,  common  disease  risk  stratification,  and  rare  diseases  are  the  three  main  conceptual  areas  being  addressed  for  initial  implementation  strategies  of  personalized  medicine.Barriers  and  solutions:  Barriers  to  translation  include  a  lack  of  provider  education  and  resources  to  implement  this  new  knowledge.  Solutions  involve  incorporating  personalized  medicine  into  undergraduate  and  postgraduate  curricula  and  the  development  of  computational  resources  to  simultaneously  analyze  data  and  evidence  to  provide  useable  clinical  decision  support  at  the  point  of  care.
