PURPOSE
The response of academic Departments of Medicine (DOM), who train the bulk of future US internists, to the increasing importance of clinical genetics is not known.
METHODS
A survey was distributed to 153 DOM chairpersons assessing the current and future roles of clinical genetics as related to internal medicine.
RESULTS
Eighty-five (56%) surveys with complete data were returned. A minority of DOM currently employ geneticists; most genetics education and services are provided by nongeneticists; the general competency of internists to deliver genetic services is unclear.
CONCLUSIONS
Academic DOM have limited faculty expertise in clinical genetics; this may impact the ability to integrate genetics into internal medicine practice and training.
目的
培养未来大部分美国内科医生的医学院内科专业（DOM）对临床遗传学日益增长的重要性的反应尚不清楚。
方法
向153位DOM主任发放了一份调查问卷，评估临床遗传学与内科相关的当前和未来作用。
结果
共收回85份（56%）有完整数据的调查问卷。目前少数DOM聘用了遗传学家；大多数遗传学教育和服务由非遗传学家提供；内科医生提供遗传服务的总体能力尚不清楚。
结论
医学院内科专业在临床遗传学方面的教师专业知识有限；这可能会影响将遗传学融入内科实践和培训的能力。
