摘要

Medical therapy is no longer a one-size-fits-all solution to health care. Personalized care-precision medicine, tailored to each individual, is on the horizon if not already here. The National Institutes of Health and several other government agencies are supporting research to produce new knowledge that will more effectively treat disease and prolong health. The hospital librarian needs to be aware of the multiple resources available to support the Precision Medicine Initiative and be ready to contribute to improving health care.
