David L. Veenstra, PharmD, PhD, Professor and Associate Director, Comparative Health Outcomes, Policy & Economics (CHOICE) Institute, Department of Pharmacy, University of Washington

Rapidly decreasing genetic testing costs have brought population-wide genomic screening within the realm of possibilities. But high-risk monogenic conditions are rare and prevention strategies will lead to additional healthcare costs. Dr. Veenstra will present the results of decision-analytic simulation models assessing the cost effectiveness of genomic screening for risk of breast and ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
