There is a gap in knowledge about hereditary cancer and genetic testing among primary care practitioners. Education is needed to enable identification and management of patients at high risk for cancer.
A new cancer genetics curriculum was delivered through individual lectures and full-day conferences. Innovative marketing and conference organizational approaches were used to increase participation.
The curriculum has been delivered to 7,400 health care professionals with diverse educational backgrounds.
Conventional formats were successfully used to implement this new curriculum. CME evaluations indicated satisfaction with the programs and a clear need for and continued interest in cancer genetics applications.
