The era of genomic medicine has barely begun, but visionaries are already looking past the genome to the proteome and the metabolome. Genes were only the beginning of a revolution in medicine. We talk to the chairman of a new National Academy of Sciences report spelling out the critical importance of the new science of toxicogenomics--in which the interactions between genes and the environment become central. Cigarette smoking is the classic example: 90 percent of smokers do NOT get lung cancer. It takes the combination of tobacco smoke and the right (or wrong) genes to cause the disease. How can practicing physicians equip themselves to practice genomic medicine? Join host Paul Raeburn to find out.

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a neurologic movement and sleep disorder characterized by sensory and motor abnormalities that are frequently misdiagnosed. There is a compelling urge to move the legs in association with unusual or uncomfortable sensations, which become obvious or worse during periods of inactivity or relaxation. Host Dr. Leslie Lundt welcomes Dr. Robert Hauser as he provides an overview of symptoms, possible causes and treatments for restless legs syndrome.

Host: Maurice Pickard, MD

Guest: Timothy McDonald, MD

Dr. Maurice Pickard speaks with Dr. Timothy McDonald about role-modeling effective communication for disclosing adverse patient outcomes and medical errors. Medicare's plan to stop paying for "preventable errors" such as falls and sores that occur in the hospital may lead to unfamiliar and trecharous terrain as the medical profession attempts to disclose all information involving potential unforeseen events.
