PEDS 5715 - GENETICS/GENOMICS IN PRIMARY CARE
Minimum Credits: 0
Maximum Credits: 0
In this ILS, students will learn about how genetics and genomics can be used to enhance precision medicine in primary care settings like pediatrics, medicine, and family practice. Students will return to the basic sciences of genetics, molecular biology, and pharmacology, discussing how to apply cutting edge insights from those disciplines to a variety of practice settings. This course will address newborn screening, how to take an effective family history, effective communication strategies around genetic conditions, care for individuals with genetic conditions, ethical issues around genetic testing, pharmacogenomics, and the use of registries. Students may have some clinical experiences (e.g., with genetics counselors), but most of the time will be spent in the classroom discussing the science and its application. An interprofessional component will include collaboration with pharmacy and other disciplines.
