Advancing Genomic Cancer Medicine in Rural and Underserved States

From the article: "In the evolving landscape of oncology, the integration of powerful genomic technologies into practice has ushered in a new era of precision cancer medicine. Complex genomic information such as mutational analyses, transcriptional signatures, and polygenic risk scores have become key diagnostics guiding therapeutic decisions and management of inherited cancer risk. However, the expertise to interpret these data for clinical decision-making remains constrained and is a significant challenge for community oncologists, especially those in rural regions and in medically underserved areas. While physical access to these tests is readily available, poor access to interpretive expertise has become the key limiting factor. "

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.
