Genetics for the Primary Care Provider (Adult)
The unprecedented, rapid advances in genetic and genomic knowledge, information and technologies have made it challenging for primary care and other nongenetics health care providers to stay current on recommendations and practices in clinical genetics. To address this education gap for nongenetics providers and to foster the effective integration of those advances into the broad clinical practice of primary care and specialty health care providers, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) has created a formal online accredited continuing education offering, “ACMG Genetics101 for Healthcare Providers.” In each module of the course, a board-certified medical genetics expert will provide a case-based presentation, along with supporting reading materials.
Learning Objectives
1. Recognize genetic disorders that occur in adults
2. Discuss clinical approach to evaluate an adult with a genetic disorder such as hereditary hemochromatosis and familial hypercholesterolemia
3. Define polygenic risk score and its impact in the current genomic era
