目的：实践卫生专业人员的教育可能是一个因素，将加快基因组学适当整合到常规临床实践。然而，许多卫生专业人士，包括医生，发现很难跟上临床基因组学的进步的快速步伐，往往不舒服使用基因组informationinpractice.Methods：确定了基因组学的医生在硅谷地区的社区医院的教育需求，我们开发，实施和评估了教育课程，题为医学的未来：基因组学执业医生。课程的结构和方法是基于成人学习的最佳实践，包括互动性，基于案例的学习，以技能为重点的目标，并连续每月modules.Results：大约20-30医生参加了每个模块。他们在基因组学知识和实践技能方面表现出了显着的进步，并在整个过程中和课程结束后保持了信心。六个月后的课程，大多数参与者报告说，他们已经改变了他们的做法，将course.Conclusion学到的技能：我们认为，成人学习的基本原则，医学的未来的发展和交付负责参与者的成果。这些原则为卫生专业人员开发和提供其他基因组学教育计划提供了一个模式。
Purpose: Education of practicing health professionals is likely to be one factor that will speed appropriate integration of genomics into routine clinical practice. Yet many health professionals, including physicians, find it difficult to keep up with the rapid pace of clinical genomic advances and are often uncomfortable using genomic information in practice.Methods: Having identified the genomics educational needs of physicians in a Silicon Valley-area community hospital, we developed, implemented, and evaluated an educational course entitled Medicine's Future: Genomics for Practicing Doctors. The course structure and approach were based on best practices in adult learning, including interactivity, case-based learning, skill-focused objectives, and sequential monthly modules.Results: Approximately 20-30 physicians attended each module. They demonstrated significant gains in genomics knowledge and confidence in practice skills that were sustained throughout and following the course. Six months following the course, the majority of participants reported that they had changed their practice to incorporate skills learned during the course.Conclusion: We believe the adult-learning principles underlying the development and delivery of Medicine's Future were responsible for participants' outcomes. These principles form a model for the development and delivery of other genomics educational programs for health professionals.
