Description of CME Course
Given the spectrum of carrier screening panels now available, it is important to recognize the benefits and limitations of different types of tests. Although screening can now be done faster, cheaper, and with broader scope, the expanded option is not right for everyone. The results of large carrier screening panels can provide valuable information, but may also produce some surprises for patients and providers alike.
Precision Medicine for Your Practice is a series of short (20-30 min), online modules covering specific topics in genomics and precision medicine. In this module, Carrier Screening, participants will learn about the benefits and limitations of carrier screening options in prenatal care for the purpose of facilitating patient decision-making. This online module will include five parts: overview information via an animated video; practice cases to facilitate learning-by-doing; and “dig deeper,” logistics, and additional resources for those who are interested in more detail.
