Genomics for GPs
The Genomics for General Practitioners education program is a collaboration between CheckUP, Queensland Genomics, the Genomic Institute, Queensland University of Technology, and the Genomics Primary Care Advisory Group. The initiative was funded by Queensland Genomics. The program aims to provide relevant information about genomics medicine to assist General Practitioners in the implementation of genomics into their everyday practice. Genomic medicine is a rapidly evolving field with many clinical applications. While individual genetic conditions are often rare, as a collective, genetic conditions are very common with approximately 60% of people being affected with a disorder that has some sort of genetic background.
