Original Release: May 3, 2017
Expiration Date: February 25, 2021

Accreditation:
Nurses are eligible for a maximum of .25 contact hours upon the completion of this activity.

Description:
Identifying genetic red flags and patterns in a family medical history can help determine if a condition (or similar conditions) present in a family has a significant genetic contribution. In this course, you will watch a short video that demonstrates identifying cancer risk factors in a family history. Then, you will practice identifying risk factors in several case scenarios and be presented with tools to help make this task easy to implement in your practice.

Learning outcomes:
• Analyze family history to screen for cancer risk.
• Identify red flags to help determine risk levels.
• Communicate genomic information, including family history, in a patient-centered way
