Investigating stakeholder experiences in implementing and adopting genome sequencing in paediatric clinical practice

2020年，医疗保险资金可用于基因组测序。儿科医生现在可以要求进行这项测试，以帮助诊断儿童综合症。将检测扩展到遗传学服务之外，对于患者的广泛受益至关重要，但众所周知，儿科医生和其他医学专家对承担更大的角色感到准备不足。我的博士项目将调查我们可以从儿科利益相关者提供基因组测序的经验中学到什么，以帮助未来在其他环境中采用。

Medicare funding became available for genome sequencing in 2020. Paediatricians can now order this test to help diagnose childhood syndromes. Expanding testing beyond genetics services is vital for patients to benefit broadly, but paediatricians and other medical specialists are known to feel ill-prepared to assume a greater role. My PhD project will investigate what we can learn from paediatric stakeholder experiences in delivering genome sequencing to aid future adoption in other settings.
