Ensuring best practice in genomics education: A scoping review of genomics education needs assessments and evaluations

From the abstract: " A health workforce capable of implementing genomic medicine requires effective genomics education. Genomics education interventions developed for health professions over the last two decades, and their impact, are variably described in the literature. To inform an evaluation framework for genomics education, we undertook an exploratory scoping review of published needs assessments for, and/or evaluations of, genomics education interventions for health professionals from 2000 to 2023.

From the article: "To better understand relationships between the genes we inherit and the environmental and societal factors that surround us and to deliver more evidence-driven health care, research must be integrated into clinical care and community settings, reaching patients from all walks of life. Unlike most research settings, primary care is patient- and community-centered and emphasizes health maintenance and preventive care alongside treatment and rehabilitation in a location as convenient as possible for the patient.
