Genetics and Genomics Bundle
In this CME bundle, learn about the NIH’s All of Us Research Program and its efforts to gather health data from one million or more people living in the United States to accelerate research and improve health, as well as resources available through the program. The live webinar also features a genetics update for PAs, including an examination of the value of genetics in medicine and in addressing health disparities, as well as a panel discussion/Q&A with representatives from All of Us community partners. Session 2 dives into the basics of genetics and genomics, including the implications of genetic testing and therapies. Session 3 explores research opportunities available through the All of Us Research Program and how PAs at the clinical level can get involved. The live webinar is Session 1 in the Genetics and Genomics Bundle. Sessions 2 and 3 are pre-recorded and can be accessed in AAPA’s Learning Central in the days following the live Session 1 webinar.
