In order to find out the underlying cause of what might be making a patient sick enough time needs to be spent asking the right questions and investigating deeper than their symptoms.

Personalized Medicine Strayer University Connie Bowens Introduction To Biology Kimberly Gaskins August 5, 2012 There are many definitions that would describe personalized medicine but the one that is most understandable is the use of marker assisted diagnosis and targeted therapies derived from an individuals molecular profile. (as cited in Science Direct, 2002).

Another important factor that FDA effects in the health care industry is finding the correct facts. Before the health care organization can decide on a prescription or OTC medicine, one must know understand as much about it as possible.
