Selected General Information Sources

Teaching Learning Materials for Professionals

  • Genetics Interdisciplinary Faculty Training (GIFT) A genetics educational program for faculty teams from nurse practitioner, physician assistant, and nurse-midwifery programs. The goal of the program is to incorporate genetics into the graduate curricula for primary care providers in nursing. There is no cost to our participants. All cost is funded by a cooperative agreement with HRSA.

  • Genetics and Your Practice A curriculum developed for physicians and other health care professionals by Dr. Robert Fineman and the Genetics Services Division of Washington State Department of Health.

  • Hereditary Susceptibility To Breat and Ovarian Cancer: An outline of the basic fundamental knowledge needed by all health care professionals established by: National Action Plan On Breast Cancer American Society Of Clinical Oncology

  • A Practice-Based Genetics Curriculum for Nurse Educators The Practice-Based Genetics Curriculum for Nurse Educators is the result of a 3-year, ELSI-funded genetics educational research project. The curriculum contains a variety of genetic topics for nurse educators teaching in undergraduate and graduate nursing programs. A variety of teaching materials are included in the curriculum: 1) genetic family history screening tools, 2) case studies for discussion, 3) act sheets, 4) handouts, 5) evaluation methods (e.g. multiple choice questions and questions for research topics and critical thinking), 6) glossary, and 7) Power-Point sides that can be used in the classrom. Posted on the FBR Web site http://www.fbr.org/ are excerpts of the curricular modules.
