The following lectures were presented at CME accredited BCCGN conferences that were specifically developed to educate BC physicians about genomics:
- INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY AND GENOMICS
- Learn about how genomics is being used to diagnose intellectual disability, autism, multiple congenital anomalies and epilepsy.
- CANCER AND GENOMICS
- Genomics is being incorporated into many aspects of clinical care, in particular cancer diagnosis and treatment.
- IMMUNOLOGY AND GENOMICS
- Learn about how genomics is being utilized to diagnose children with idiopathic immunodeficiencies in order to determine the proper course of treatment
- CARDIOLOGY AND GENOMICS
- Learn how genomics has been used to provide answers in families affected by sudden arrhythmic death.
- CHALLENGES TO INCORPORATING GENOMIC TESTING INTO CLINICAL CARE
- Learn about the logistical, ethical and clinical challenges of introducing genomic technologies into clinical care.
- INCORPORATING GENOMICS INTO CLINICAL CARE TO MAKE A DIAGNOSIS
- Learn about how genomics is being incorporated into clinical care to make diagnoses
- PERSONAL EXPERIENCES OF GENOMICS
- Hear personal accounts of the challenges families face when a genetic disorder is diagnosed in the family.
- DIRECT TO CONSUMER (DTC) TESTING
- Learn about genetic testing that is offered directly to consumers through the internet. These DTC tests give results regarding disease risk and could be easily misunderstood by patients.
- PHARMACOGENOMICS
- Learn about pharmacogenomics is the study of how people respond differently to drugs due to their genetic makeup.
- PERSONALIZED MEDICINE
- Learn how the genetic characteristics of an individual contribute to their risk and response to disease and treatment.
- GENOMIC TECHNOLOGIES
- Learn about genomics, and genomic technologies, such as next generation sequencing and chromosomal microarray.
