ABSTRACT
The term “Precision Medicine” was first coined by Clayton Christensen in his book the “Innovator’s Prescription”, published in 2009. According to the early definition given by the Institute of Precision Medicine, “Precision medicine is targeted, individualized care that is tailored to each patient based on his or her specific genetic profile and medical history”. The role of research and learning is to address the limitation and push the boundaries of knowledge. Precision medicine develops and positively evolves with better research and learning. The healthcare professional team, as bowlers and fielders, rushed to the casualty to battle the disease of the patient and win the match to meet the patient requirements within a narrowest path possible to attain precision and accuracy without overdiagnosis and overtreatment. The chapter illustrates how case-based blended learning ecosystem can strengthen the bridge between age-old precision approaches with modern omics-driven approaches to deliver precision healthcare and reduce overdiagnosis and overtreatment.
