- Accredited
This session aims to inspire the next generation of genetics professionals by exploring the future of clinical genetics. Presenters will share their insights on how the field may evolve over the next decade, addressing critical questions such as who will provide genetic services, what new treatments will emerge, and how care will be delivered. As genomics becomes increasingly integrated into medicine, understanding these shifts is essential for shaping the future of genetics practice and education.
Attendees will gain valuable perspectives on innovative care delivery models designed to meet the growing demand for genomic services. The session will highlight the role of non-genetics professionals in patient care, the expanding use of therapeutics in genetics practice, and the essential components of an effective care team. By examining these advancements, this discussion will provide a forward-looking view of how clinical genetics can evolve to improve patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- Describe a futuristic vision of clinical genetics as a specialty
- Review care delivery models to balance the increasing demand for genomics against an insufficient workforce by utilizing non-genetic professionals
