Illumina specialize in genomic testing
in a number of therapeutic areas and currently they support a series of four
ACCME accredited e-learning webinars for Physicians titled ‘Genomics in
Clinical Practice’. This series, which
was developed and is currently launched by the American College of Medical
Genetics (ACMG) in the US, aims to help physicians and other healthcare
professionals who are not board-certified geneticists to understand genomics in
the clinical setting.
The educational programs currently
available as CME (Continuing Medical Education) e-learning webinars are:
*
Cystic Fibrosis Carrier Screening
*
Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPS)
*
Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis and Screening (PGD/PGS)
* Understanding Your Genome: Genomics in
Clinical Practice
The first three programs listed above
consist of 2-3 hour webinars containing several modules which address different
aspects of the application of genomic testing to the particular area of clinical
use. In addition the ACMG has also
released a 3 hour recorded CME program as part of the series: Understanding
Your Genome: Genomics in Clinical Practice Symposium, which focuses on the full
spectrum of genetic testing applications, educating physicians on the basics of
clinical genome and exome sequencing while explaining the utility these tests
can have for patients. All of these CME programs are presented by recognized
experts in the field.
I have attached the individual
e-brochures for each of the respective programs for your review and also this
