Description:
Precision Medicine for Your Practice is a series of short (30 min), online modules covering specific topics in genomics and precision medicine. In this module, Genomic Testing for the Healthy Individual, learn how to elicit patient motivations for genomic testing and to assess if a particular genomic test is a good fit for their concerns. This module will help providers understand the benefits and limitations of different types of genomic tests, know what types of information are available from different types of tests, and increase provider awareness of resources available to help interpret and prioritize results from genomic testing. There are five parts of the module: overview 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:
Upon completion of this educational activity, the learner will be able to:
• Identify patient motivators to enable decisions regarding genomic testing.
• Facilitate interpretation of genomic test results from a wide range of test types, including those with lower clinical validity and utility.

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