Genetics Workup for the Pediatrician
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 common, appropriate reasons for genetics workup.
2. Demonstrate when and how a geneticist can help
3. Explain existing genetic and genomic technologies, their appropriate use, and important logistical considerations
4. Examine some of the challenges that affect the widespread use of genetic testing and the impact on precision medicine initiatives
