This presentation focuses on how to implement genetics and genomic medicine into the primary care setting. PAs will learn key clinical characteristics of rare genetic diseases and how to identify patients suitable for genetics referral. This course will empower PAs to organize and strengthen their history-taking and physical exam to help build confidence for future patient encounters.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Identify the characteristics of a patient's medical condition that may raise concern for a possible genetic disease
- Outline what a PA can do to help streamline and enhance the efficacy of a genetics referral
- Encourage 'thinking genetics' when you might not have done before
