背景/目的：本研究旨在确定初级保健医生 (PCP) 对遗传医学的态度以及他们对该领域教育的感知需求。方法：对美国西北部的 24 名 PCP 进行半结构化电话访谈。结果：PCP 有兴趣更多地了解谁应该接受基因检测以及可以进行哪些检测。需要咨询和风险沟通方面的培训，以及指导临床决策的“及时”资源。结论：PCP 渴望了解遗传医学；然而，他们的优先事项可能与遗传学专家提出的重点不同。未来的教育工作将很好地建立在 PCP 先前的知识基础上，强调遗传医学与初级保健实践的临床相关性，并强调“危险信号”：提醒 PCP 潜在遗传贡献的线索。版权所有 (C) 2008 S. Karger AG，巴塞尔。
Background/Aims: This study was performed to identify primary care physicians' (PCPs) attitudes toward genetic medicine and their perceived needs for education in this area. Methods: Semistructured telephone interviews with 24 PCPs in the northwestern United States. Results: PCPs are interested in learning more about who should receive genetic testing and what tests are available. Training in counseling and risk communication is desired, as are 'just-in-time' resources to guide clinical decisions. Conclusions: PCPs are eager to learn about genetic medicine; however, their priorities may differ in emphasis from those put forward by genetics experts. Future educational efforts would do well to build on PCPs' prior knowledge base, highlight the clinical relevance of genetic medicine to primary care practice, and emphasize 'red flags': cues to alert PCPs to a potential genetic contribution.
