目的:遗传学和基因组学领域继续以前所未有的速度扩展。随着科学知识转化为临床实践,基因组信息通常用于预防,诊断,以及各种临床实践领域的治疗决策。随着基因组医学的进一步发展,卫生专业人员将被要求跟上新的遗传发现和技术,并在其实践范围内实施这些进展。
方法:人类和医学遗传学教授协会先前开发了医学院遗传学核心能力,最后更新于2013年。通过采用改进的Delphi方法的结构化方法对能力进行了审查和更新。
结果:介绍了最新的人类和医学遗传学教授核心能力协会。当前的修订包括简洁的能力,具体,和评估。此外,它们结合了临床实践的最新进展,促进了临床护理的公平和包容。
结论:2022年能力将作为医学院领导和参与课程开发的教育工作者的指南,实施,和评估。在整个本科医学课程中使用这些能力将培养知识,技能,以及医疗实践中广泛的专业所需的行为。
OBJECTIVE: The field of genetics and genomics continues to expand at an unprecedented pace. As scientific knowledge is translated to clinical practice, genomic information is routinely being used in preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic decision-making across a variety of clinical practice areas. As adoption of genomic medicine further evolves, health professionals will be required to stay abreast of new genetic discoveries and technologies and implementation of these advances within their scope of practice will be indicated.
METHODS: The Association of Professors of Human and Medical Genetics previously developed medical school genetics core competencies, last updated in 2013. The competencies were reviewed and updated through a structured approach incorporating a modified Delphi method.
RESULTS: The updated Association of Professors of Human and Medical Genetics core competencies are presented. Current revisions include competencies that are concise, specific, and assessable. In addition, they incorporate recent advances in clinical practice and promote equity and inclusion in clinical care.
CONCLUSIONS: The 2022 competencies will serve as a guide for medical school leadership and educators involved in curriculum development, implementation, and assessment. Use of these competencies across the undergraduate medical curricula will foster knowledge, skills, and behaviors required in medical practice across a wide range of specialties.
