In 2021, the Acute Care Genomics program delivered a comprehensive online education program. Case-based learning principles were applied across online modules and a virtual workshop, with content tailored to a non-genetics audience.
These modules are for information only and are no longer being updated/monitored.
Work through real-world cases of critically unwell infants and children to understand when rapid genomic testing is indicated, and how results change clinical management.
Follow a family through pre-test counselling, consent and return of results in the acute setting including uncertain findings and implications for relatives.
The content from these modules was developed for the Acute Care Genomics Program, which was funded by the Medical Research Futures Fund, Genomics Health Futures Mission (GHFM76747).
This content incorporates educational expertise from Melbourne Genomics. Additional content was contributed by Professor Zornitza Stark, Dr Chirag Patel, Professor John Christodoulou, Giulia McCorkell, Donna Halton, Associate Professor Amy Nisselle, Dr Fran Maher, Sophie Bouffler, Dr Sarah Sandaradura, Ivan Macciocca, Professor Clara Gaff, Elly Lynch, Gemma Brett, Dr Michelle de Silva, and Dr Fiona Lynch.
