PrintContinuing Medical Education (CME) Opportunities
Until recently, most practicing healthcare providers had limited genetics and genomics education and training in their undergraduate and graduate educational programs and clinical training. Practicing healthcare providers will increasingly need to use genetic and genomic knowledge and information to meet the needs of their patients and families. Genetics and genomics CME programs are being created to meet this need. This section provides a listing of genetics and genomics CME opportunities for physicians and other healthcare providers.
