Genomic Medicine Skills and Competencies discusses core and practical aspects of genetic and genomic education and training for medical field. Many aspects of genomic applications in science, biotechnology, clinical medicine and healthcare require core and specialist knowledge, skills development and competencies for carrying out diverse tasks. Several knowledge-based courses and opportunities for skills and competencies development and assessment are now available and the main required subjects are discussed in this volume.
The book focuses on all major aspects of genetic and genomic education training that are currently offered and evaluated and is a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, physicians, nurses, genetic counselors, bioinformatics technicians, and other professionals who are interested in learning more about such promising field.
