GenEd

Genetic Education for the Next Era

Genetics and genomics are increasingly becoming part of everyday healthcare. GenEd is a series of educational videos and resources designed to support learners in developing foundational knowledge and confidence in recognizing, discussing, and incorporating genetic information into clinical practice. Each video is designed to stand alone but together provides a more in-depth understanding to navigate the world of Medical genetics. The series covers key concepts in genetics and genomics, such as genetic testing, interpreting results, and when to consider referral for genetic counselling or further assessment.
