Primary Care Genetics Cancer Prevention Conference

描述(由申请者提供)：我们建议由布朗大学初级保健和预防中心和牛津大学初级卫生保健部主办的一个创新的视频电话会议，目标是： 1.促进初级保健医生通过应用遗传学预防癌症的循证最佳实践模式 2.促进初级保健学者在翻译遗传学研究中的作用。 我们的具体目标是通过以下方式将新兴的遗传流行病学和药物遗传学研究转化为初级保健医生的循证实践模式： 1.促进对新遗传学在初级保健中的新作用的广泛理解。 2.推广一套适合文化的技能，以识别、筛查和咨询罹患癌症和其他疾病的可遗传风险较高的患者。 3.处理遗传学对初级保健的关键政策和伦理影响。 4.确定组织初级保健办公室系统以促进使用基因技术的战略。 5.展望初级保健遗传学研究的新前沿--从板凳到床边到社会。 来自初级保健、遗传流行病学、行为医学和卫生政策的跨学科专家将展示一个互动的跨大西洋论坛，以促进以社区为基础的执业初级保健医生之间关键知识、技能和实践行为的发展。这次为期半天的会议将在美国罗德岛州的普罗维登斯举行，视频将同时直播到英国伦敦，并将成为翻译遗传学研究和教育方面协同合作的核心。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose an innovative video teleconference hosted by the Brown University Center for Primary Care and Prevention and the University of Oxford Department of Primary Healthcare with the goals of: 1. Promoting evidence-based best practice models of cancer prevention though applied genetics by primary care physicians and 2. Advancing the role of the primary care scholar in translational genetics research. Our specific aims are to translate emerging genetic epidemiological and pharmacogenetics research into evidence-based practice models for primary care physicians by: 1. Fostering a broad understanding of the emerging role of the new genetics in primary care. 2. Promoting a culturally-appropriate skill set to identify, screen, and counsel patients with an elevated heritable risk of cancer and other illnesses. 3. Addressing key policy and ethical implications of genetics for primary care. 4. Identifying strategies for organizing primary care office system to promote the use of genetic technology. 5. Envisioning the new frontier of primary care genetics research from "bench-to-bedside-to-society". Trans-disciplinary experts from primary care, genetic epidemiology, behavioral medicine, and health policy will present an interactive trans-Atlantic forum to promote the development of key knowledge, skills, and practice behavior among practicing, community-based primary care physicians. This half-day conference will take place in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, with video simulcast to London, United Kingdom, and will serve as the nidus for synergistic collaboration in translational genetics research and education.
