The ethics of deferred consent in times of pandemics
RVD Graaf et al, Nature Medicine, July 10, 2020

In the current COVID-19 pandemic, many researchers are applying to research ethics committees for deferred-consent procedures for protocols that aim either to test treatments or to obtain tissue or samples from research participants. However, the deferred-consent procedure has not been developed for pandemics.

Educating military primary health-care providers in genomic medicine: lessons learned from the MilSeq Project
MD Maxwell et al, Genetics in Medicine, July 9, 3030

With few trained genetics professionals, the Military Health System is ill-equipped to manage the rapid expansion of genomic medicine. The MilSeq Project introduces an alternative service delivery model (ASDM) in which primary health-care providers (HCPs) provide post-test counseling (PTC) to healthy Airmen who have undergone exome sequencing.
