Course opens: 06/01/2020
Course expires: 05/31/2023

Overview:
Medical genetics has widened the boundaries of case evaluation for clinicians. With the advances in genetic testing comes the rise of ethical challenges in medicine regarding the circumstances under which genetic testing is appropriate, the process through which genetic testing is pursued, and the clinical utility of genetic test results. Recent advances in genetic testing technologies, in hand with the reduced cost and accessibility to testing, are only expected to bring more questions than answers. Please join us in this very informative and interactive education session as Arelis E. Martir-Negron, M.D., discusses ethics and genetics.

Learning Objectives:
• Recognize ethical, legal, and social issues relevant to genetic counseling and testing.
• Address foreseen ethical dilemmas related to new advances in medical genetics.
• Apply learned bioethical principles in challenging genetics cases.
