Precision Medicine & Clinical Genomics Certification

The Precision Medicine & Clinical Genomics Certification is a free advanced-level, 25-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests precision medicine and clinical genomics — DNA, genes and variant types, sequencing technologies from panels to exomes and genomes, the bioinformatics pipeline, ACMG/AMP variant classification and ClinVar, germline versus somatic testing, hereditary cancer and rare disease diagnosis, tumour profiling, biomarkers and companion diagnostics, pharmacogenomics and CPIC guidelines, polygenic risk scores, genetic counselling, consent, incidental findings and privacy, and equity in genomic medicine — written to ACMG, ClinGen, NHGRI, NCI, CPIC and FDA guidance for 2026 and 2027. Score 70% or more on its 25 questions to earn a verifiable Precision Medicine & Clinical Genomics certificate (SOA-PMCG). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Genomics and medicine educational resources (National Human Genome Research Institute), Precision medicine in cancer treatment (US National Cancer Institute), Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium guidelines (CPIC) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Science of Apps offers a free Precision Medicine & Clinical Genomics Certification, written for 2026 and 2027. It tests genomics foundations, sequencing and interpretation, precision oncology, pharmacogenomics and risk prediction and ethics, counselling and implementation with 25 original scenario questions in all, each naming its published source; you get an instant score and a verifiable certificate with a credential ID you can add to LinkedIn.

Read the five skill areas on this page, then take the 25-minute test online — no fee, course or sign-up. You see every answer explained when you finish. Score 70% or more and you get a Precision Medicine & Clinical Genomics certificate straight away, on screen, as a PDF and by email, with a credential ID anyone can verify.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: Genomics and medicine educational resources (National Human Genome Research Institute); Precision medicine in cancer treatment (US National Cancer Institute); Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium guidelines (CPIC); Standards and guidelines for the interpretation of sequence variants (American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics); Companion diagnostics (US Food and Drug Administration); ClinVar database of genomic variation and clinical significance (NCBI, US National Library of Medicine). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Five skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Genomics Foundations (Genes and variants, Inheritance and Germline and somatic); Sequencing and Interpretation (Testing technologies, Bioinformatics and Variant classification); Precision Oncology (Tumour profiling, Biomarkers and targeted therapy and Liquid biopsy); Pharmacogenomics and Risk Prediction (Drug-gene pairs, Polygenic risk and Screening and diagnosis); Ethics, Counselling and Implementation (Consent and counselling, Privacy and data and Equity and access). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Clinical geneticist or genetic counsellor, Oncologist or physician using genomic tests, Clinical or molecular laboratory scientist, Pharmacist working in pharmacogenomics and Biotech or diagnostics professional. It suits students at leading universities, career switchers and experienced professionals who want quick, verifiable proof of Precision Medicine & Clinical Genomics knowledge in 2026 and 2027.

Pre-med, public-health and biotech students (Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Karolinska, Oxford, Duke) increasingly enter industry and policy roles. Passing earns a founder-signed Science of Apps certificate with a credential ID and QR code that recruiters can verify.

An approach that tailors prevention, diagnosis and treatment to an individual's genes, environment and lifestyle, for example choosing a cancer therapy based on the tumour's specific mutation.

Under ACMG/AMP guidelines, a VUS is a genetic change with insufficient evidence to classify it as pathogenic or benign. It should not normally be used to guide clinical decisions, and may be reclassified as evidence grows.

Yes. The test is online, in English and free everywhere — people take it from India, the US, the UK, Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Your certificate is dated with your own local date and can be verified from anywhere at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/.

25 questions — 5 from each of 5 skill areas — with a 25-minute limit. You need 70% (18 of 25) to pass and 90% for distinction.

We rate it Advanced: assumes years in the role or deep specialist knowledge. It has 25 scenario questions — 5 from each of 5 skill areas — and a 25-minute limit. You need 70% (18 of 25) to pass and 90% for distinction.

Nothing. There is no fee to take a test, to receive the certificate, to have it emailed or to verify it, and no sign-up.

On our server, not in your browser. The answers never reach the page until you submit, so a certificate can only be earned by passing. Each certificate gets a unique credential ID stored by Science of Apps.

You see your score for each area and every question with the correct answer and why, with the published source behind it. You can retake after 30 minutes, and the retake draws questions you haven't seen yet.

No. Every certificate is dated, so it always shows when you passed. Retake a test any time for a newer date or a higher score.

Yes. After you pass, Add to LinkedIn opens the Licenses & certifications form with the certificate name, Science of Apps as the issuer, the issue date, your credential ID and the verification link filled in. You can also download it as a PDF or PNG, and it's emailed to you as a PDF.

Every certificate has a credential ID and a QR code. Scanning it, or entering the ID at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/, shows the holder's name, the certification, the score and the issue date from our records.

No. They are Science of Apps' own assessments of applied skill. They aren't issued by a university or standards body, and they work best alongside a portfolio that shows the skills in real work.
