Description:
Precision Medicine for Your Practice is a series of short (30 min), online modules incorporating specific topics in genomics and precision medicine. In this module, Exome Testing for Diagnosis, learn how to collaborate with both patients and genetic specialists around exome testing. This module will support primary care providers and other specialists identify patients who may profit from exome testing, talk with such patients and families about exome testing to assist them in their decisions about genetic counseling and genetic testing, recognize clinically important exome test results for excellence in patient care, and collaborate with genetic experts in ongoing patient management and evaluation. There are five parts of the module: summary via an animated video; practice cases to facilitate learning-by-doing; "dig deeper" for more in-depth topics; and logistics and additional resources for more detail.

Objectives:
At the conclusion of the session, the learner will be able to:
• Recognize the methods to communicate with patients about the benefits, risks, and limitations of exome testing and expectations for an appointment with a genetic expert.
• Identify how to communicate with patients about positive, negative, and uncertain results from exome testing.
• Acknowledge ways to collaborate with a genetic expert throughout the exome testing process, including initial referral and ongoing patient management.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
