Genomic and Precision Medicine
Heads up! This course may be archived and/or unavailable.
Precision medicine has the potential to change fundamentally how health care is practiced, but requires a health care workforce that understands the complexities of this field. One important component of Precision Medicine is the use of an individual’s genomic information to offer targeted treatment, tailored to the individual. Our course aims to provide participants with some baseline knowledge of genomics, an overview of the clinical applications of genomic medicine, the skills to evaluate the clinical validity and utility of new tests, and an appreciation of the associated ethical and social issues inherent in this field. The course is geared toward practicing health care providers, although it should be accessible to anyone with a background in the biological sciences and a basic understanding of genetics. It is designed to be succinct and clinically-focused, offering both conceptual and practical information about real-world applications of genomics. Two lessons offer a basic primer on molecular genomics relevant to the individual patient as well as to patient populations. The remaining five lessons focus on five applications of genomics and present the material as case studies, highlighting the strengths, limitations, and issues that arise in the use of each test.

precision medicine
excellent lessons from well-known tutors of USCF give us an overview of genomic medicine and precision medicine.
I learned so much in regards to genomic and precision medicine and its application in cancer!
An excellent introduction to this upcoming field of Precision Medicine.
However, I doubt not having the basis of general genomic and precision medicine will make it much easier for me to digest further work specific resources going forward.
It's a wonderful introduction to the world of precision medicine.
Очень познавательный курс, который предлагает для ознакомления много полезной информации Very good and very informative course The course, Genomic and Precision Medicine is an exceptional resource for clinicians at various levels.
Course Professors, Dr. Jeanette McCarthy and Chief, Dr. Robert L. Nussbaum provide superior presentations that meet and at times, surpass University level instruction and orientation to the new depth of Genomic medicine.Although I am continuing to become familiar with her new publication, "Precision Medicine" a guide to genomics in clinical practice, I have already begun using and sharing this plethora of information within my daily medical practice and amongst other Physician providers.
I look forward to migrating my additional interests in the areas of personalised medicine courses offered directly through "Precision Medicine Advisors" and the derivative Course topic of Bioinformatics... Much thanks and cheers, wonderful educational and practical clinical materials to enrich most medical practices!
I am not a clinician, but I am interested in precision medicine.
This course is really useful for giving an overview and fundamental knowledge of genomics and precision medicine.

very informative
Very informative.
Very informative course and very useful if you deal with clinical outcomes from cancer analysis.
very challenging course... Excelente curso, provee los conceptos e instrumentos para iniciar la aplicación de los exámenes genéticos en la practica medica Very Informative Fantastic instructor.
I found this course to be very informative, since I was previously unaware of the how genomics can be implemented in the clinic, and the current state of the field of medical genetics.
