Genetics for Cardiologists
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 different types of genetic changes that contribute to the development of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD)
2. Explain how medical management is enhanced by determining the genetic etiology of CHD
3. Choose the most appropriate diagnostic genetic testing for Supravalvar Aortic Stenosis (SVAS) and Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)
