BETHESDA, Md., March 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The unprecedented, fast advances in genetic and genomic data and applied sciences have made it difficult for main care and different nongenetics healthcare suppliers to remain present on suggestions and practices in scientific genetics. To deal with this schooling hole for nongenetics suppliers and to foster the efficient integration of these advances into the broad scientific observe of main care and specialty healthcare suppliers, the American School of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) pronounces the creation of a brand new on-line Persevering with Medical Training (CME)* sequence, “Genetics101 for Healthcare Suppliers.” The free academic sequence shall be featured within the broadly well-liked AMA Ed Hub, the net studying platform of the American Medical Affiliation.
ACMG CEO Max Muenke, MD, MBA, FACMG stated, “We’re proud to collaborate with the AMA Ed Hub, an internet platform bringing collectively high-quality schooling from the American Medical Affiliation and different trusted sources, together with ACMG. Designed to help the lifelong studying, licensure and certification wants of physicians and different well being professionals, the AMA Ed Hub provides hundreds of alternatives to earn CME, CEU and MOC.”
This thrilling new academic program addresses a key a part of ACMG’s Strategic Plan to develop personalized schooling and assets for nongeneticists.
ACMG President Marc S. Williams, MD, FACMG stated, “The ACMG’s strategic plan states that we are going to take the lead in ‘…educating the medical group on the numerous position that genetics and genomics will proceed to play in understanding, stopping, treating and curing illness.’ This partnership with the AMA Ed Hub is a major milestone is attaining this goal.”
In every module of the “Genetics101 for Healthcare Suppliers” course, a board-certified medical genetics knowledgeable will present a case-based presentation, together with supporting studying supplies. Initially, there shall be 10 modules, with some modules protecting normal matters and others particular to a selected medical specialty space. Matters included on this preliminary sequence:
1. Neurogenetics
2. Prenatal Genetics
3. Key Ideas in Pharmacogenomics
4. On-line Genetics Assets
5. Inherited Most cancers Syndromes
6. Genetics for the Main Care Supplier (Grownup)
7. Genetics for Endocrinologists
8. Genetics for Cardiologists
9. Genetics Workup for the Pediatrician
10. Common Overview of Genetics (Coming quickly)
This course is supported by an unbiased medical schooling grant from Illumina, Inc.
ACMG is the biggest group of medical geneticists within the nation and the one medical society that represents the complete spectrum of medical genetics disciplines together with scientific and laboratory geneticists in addition to genetic counselors in a single group. ACMG’s mission is to enhance well being by way of the observe of medical genetics, in addition to by way of schooling and scientific analysis, and to information the secure and efficient integration of genetics and genomics into all of medication and healthcare, leading to improved private and public well being.
This exercise has been accepted for AMA PRA Class 1 Credit score™.
In regards to the American School of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) and ACMG Basis
Based in 1991, the American School of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) is the one nationally acknowledged medical society devoted to enhancing well being by way of the scientific observe of medical genetics and genomics. The ACMG offers schooling, assets and a voice for greater than 2,400 biochemical, scientific, cytogenetic, medical and molecular geneticists, genetic counselors and different healthcare professionals, practically 80% of whom are board licensed within the medical genetics specialties. The School’s mission is to develop and maintain medical genetics-related initiatives in scientific and laboratory observe, schooling and advocacy. 4 overarching methods information ACMG’s work: 1) reinforce and broaden ACMG’s place because the chief and distinguished authority within the area of medical genetics and genomics, together with scientific analysis, whereas educating the medical group on the numerous position that genetics and genomics will proceed to play in understanding, stopping, treating and curing illness; 2) to safe and broaden the skilled workforce for medical genetics and genomics; 3) to advocate for the specialty; and 4) to offer best-in-class schooling to members and nonmembers. Genetics in Medication, printed month-to-month, is the official ACMG peer-reviewed journal. ACMG’s web site (www.acmg.web) provides assets together with coverage statements, observe tips, academic applications and a ‘Discover a Genetic Service’ instrument. The tutorial and public well being applications of the ACMG are dependent upon charitable items from firms, foundations and people by way of the ACMG Basis for Genetic and Genomic Medication.
