Along with the rapid growth in genomic medicine, the number of education providers delivering face-to-face and online education, training and resources in clinical genomics is also expanding, at all levels – from formal university courses to medical specialty training and ongoing professional development. The Genomic Education Network of Australasia (GENA) has a membership of nearly 100 education providers, evaluators and researchers working in this area. The aim of GENA is to promote best practice in genomic education by sharing ideas, experiences, resources, evaluation tools and research outcomes. You may want to register your interest in joining GENA and/or attending the workshop if you are: · An educator providing formal genomics education programs to university students, health professionals or scientists · A health professional delivering genomics education activities to other health professionals · An evaluator or researcher interested in sharing and/or testing research outcomes for genomics education · Someone who is thinking of developing a genomics education activity, program or core competencies. The 2-hour workshop at the HGSA 2019 ASM in Wellington will include introductions, member presentations on current or proposed research, development and collaborations, and an opportunity for discussions and networking within interest groups. To register your interest in joining the Network and/or to attend the Wellington workshop, please email education@australiangenomics.org.au
