Genetics for Endocrinologists
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. Identify common clinical scenarios where a hereditary endocrine disorder should be suspected
2. Recognize the clinical utility as well as the limitations of various genetic tests used in Endocrinology
3. Describe the psychosocial implications for patients who live with a hereditary endocrine disorder
