Target Audience
This activity is targeted toward primary care and oncology specialties.
Statement of Need
According the National Human Genome Research Institute, genomic factors play a role in nine of the ten leading causes of death in the U.S.; e.g. heart disease, cancer and diabetes. If providers have a better understanding of genomic testing and applications, it can result in earlier diagnosis, interventions and targeted treatments for specific diseases, improving overall patient outcomes.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this offering, the participant will be able to:
Differentiate between genetic and genomic testing. Describe the essentials of genomic testing. Define key applications in clinical medicine where genomic testing is utilized: constitutional, oncology and microbiological.
