Trainee and New Faculty Forum

Wednesday, April 114, 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Early Genetics Forum: Navigating Daily Dilemmas in the Clinic

Clinical genetics trainees and early-career practitioners frequently encounter complex, ambiguous cases that fall outside well-established guidelines. As a result, trainees may lack confidence in clinical reasoning, variant interpretation, and interprofessional communication when faced with atypical or uncertain presentations.This session will present cases across key domains in clinical genetics using an interactive, case-based format and aligns with current educational priorities in competency-based medical education, emphasizing clinical reasoning, adaptability, and lifelong learning in the face of rapidly evolving genomic knowledge.
