About the Project

This tool provides a centralized repository for health professional education resources for use in genetics/genomics education.

Genomic applications in healthcare are increasingly relevant to the day-to-day delivery of care to patients by all health care professionals. There was a strong interest in having a centralized web resource for educators that could facilitate communication, development, and dissemination of educational resources and approaches to achieve genetic/genomic competency.

The Genetics/Genomics Competency Center is:

• Created to provide healthcare professionals with a learning management system
• Based on a core set of competencies that organizes genetic/genomic educational materials
• Streamlined to facilitate standardized curriculum development, and
• Designed to enhance efforts to develop trans-disciplinary approaches to genetics/genomics education
