Genomics in Focus
The Genomics in Focus webinar series aims to provide practical guidance for clinicians interested in genomics and mainstreaming (when genetic testing is ordered by clinicians from a range of specialties). The webinars will cover six specialties including, paediatrics, cardiology, neurology, reproductive carrier screening, oncology and nephrology.
Genomic testing is being integrated into standard healthcare at an exponential rate. Many genomic tests are now funded through Medicare with a view to increasing access to genomic information to guide health management and tailor treatment decisions. Learn from experts in their field about how you can harness genomic information in your practice.
