这项研究描述了美国临床遗传学劳动力的特点，以告知劳动力规划和公共政策制定。2019年，一份32个问题的调查以电子方式分发给美国医学遗传学和基因组学委员会认证/合格的候选人。我们对临床遗传学家的回答进行了描述性分析。在491名临床遗传学家中，大多数是女性（59%）和白色（79%），在学术医疗中心工作（73%），许多人从事远程医疗（33%）。临床遗传学家报告说，平均每周有13名新患者和10名随访患者就诊。平均每周工作50小时，大多数（58%）在临床职责中工作超过一半时间。提供者表示，39%的新急诊患者等待3天或更长时间，39%的非急诊患者等待3个月以上才能看到。受访者在地理上集中在大都市地区，许多人报告在他们的机构超过3年的临床遗传学家职位空缺。随着基因组医学在过去十年中的迅速发展，所需的遗传学服务与劳动力能力之间仍然存在差距。需要共同努力，增加临床遗传学家的数量，加强跨学科的团队合作，以满足日益增长的患者需求。
This study characterizes the US clinical genetics workforce to inform workforce planning and public policy development. A 32-question survey was electronically distributed to American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics board-certified/eligible diplomates in 2019. We conducted a descriptive analysis of responses from practicing clinical geneticists. Of the 491 clinical geneticists responding to the survey, a majority were female (59%) and White (79%), worked in academic medical centers (73%), and many engaged in telemedicine (33%). Clinical geneticists reported an average of 13 new and 10 follow-up patient visits per week. The average work week was 50 hours and the majority (58%) worked over half-time in clinical duties. Providers indicated that 39% of new emergency patients wait 3 days or more, and 39% of nonemergency patients wait over 3 months to be seen. Respondents were geographically concentrated in metropolitan areas and many reported unfilled clinical geneticist job vacancies at their institution of more than 3 years. With the rapid expansion of genomic medicine in the past decade, there is still a gap between genetics services needed and workforce capacity. A concerted effort is required to increase the number of clinical geneticists and enhance interdisciplinary teamwork to meet increasing patient needs.
