Training

A challenge in the rapidly advancing era of genomic medicine is ensuring that medical professionals have the knowledge and skills needed to keep up with the technical complexity of genetic and genomic information.  This type of information, which includes genetic testing specifics, screening options, personalized medicine and risk assessment may be challenging for medical professionals.  In parallel, similar challenges confront genome scientists in terms of the technical complexity that exists in the rapidly evolving realm of genomic sequence analysis.  To address these challenges, we offer training courses in order to build capacity in both genomic medicine/clinical diagnostics and in genome analysis and interpretation. The primary goal of these programs is to train both physicians and scientists who will serve as leaders in genomic medicine in their countries, and who will help to catalyze the introduction of genetics and genomics into the clinical care of patients as capacity of the program continues to grow over time. 

We can develop customized training programs for governments to equip medical professionals and genome scientists with the skills and expertise needed to support national genomic medicine programs.
