About This Genomic Testing Training Session
Genomic Testing Training streams live online on October 15, 2026. The training consists of a lecture with case-based discussion and a brief demonstration of report navigation tools.
This course introduces the fundamentals of genomic testing as it applies to patient care. Participants will explore the biological basis of DNA sequencing technologies, variant classification, and the integration of genomic data into diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making. The curriculum covers ethical considerations, data security, and communication strategies for discussing results with patients and families. Case studies illustrate real-world applications across oncology, cardiology, and rare disease contexts.
Clinicians attending will gain practical insight into interpreting test reports, selecting appropriate panels, and counseling patients about implications for management. The session emphasizes evidence-based guidelines and highlights common pitfalls that can affect diagnostic accuracy. By mastering these concepts, providers can enhance personalized care plans, justify test utilization, and collaborate more effectively with genetics laboratories and multidisciplinary teams. Additionally, participants will learn to document findings in compliance with institutional policies.
