人类基因组计划的完成，加上DNA测序成本的大幅降低和转化研究的进展，正逐步将基因组发现和技术引入医学实践。这些进展的快速步伐正在打开关于基因组信息的临床相关性的现有知识与临床医生将这些信息纳入其医疗实践的能力之间的差距。这种教育差距可能会限制基因组学在医学中的临床应用。解决办法不仅需要更好地了解基因发现的临床意义，而且需要在专业发展的各个层面进行基因组学培训，包括对接受正规培训的个人和早已完成此类培训的其他人进行培训。国家人类基因组研究所召集了基因组学医师教育协会间协调委员会，以发展和分享在医学中使用基因组学的最佳做法。ISCC开发了一个。发展基因组学实践能力的框架，可以作为制定各种医学学科医生能力的起点。
Completion of the Human Genome Project, in conjunction with dramatic reductions in the cost of DNA sequencing and advances in translational research, is gradually ushering genomic discoveries and technologies into the practice of medicine. The rapid pace of these advances is opening up a gap between the knowledge available about the clinical relevance of genomic information and the ability of clinicians to include such information in their medical practices. This educational gap threatens to be rate limiting to the clinical adoption of genomics in medicine. Solutions will require not only a better understanding of the clinical implications of genetic discoveries but also training in genomics at all levels of professional development, including for individuals in formal training and others who long ago completed such training. The National Human Genome Research Institute has convened the Inter-Society Coordinating Committee for Physician Education in Genomics (ISCC) to develop and share best practices in the use of genomics in medicine. The ISCC has developed a. framework for development of genomics practice competencies that may serve as a starting point for formulation of competencies for physicians in various medical disciplines.
