Genetics is assuming an increasingly important role in medicine. As a result, the teaching of genetics should also be increased proportionally to ensure that future physicians will be able to take advantage of the new genetic technology, and to understand the associated ethical, legal and social issues. At the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, we have been able to incorporate genetic education into a four-year medical curriculum in a fully integrated fashion. This model may serve as a template for other medical curriculum still in development.
遗传学在医学中发挥着越来越重要的作用。因此,遗传学教学也应相应增加,以确保未来的医生能够利用新的基因技术,并理解相关的伦理、法律和社会问题。在罗切斯特大学医学与牙科学院,我们已经能够以完全整合的方式将遗传学教育纳入四年制医学课程。这种模式可以为其他仍在开发中的医学课程提供一个模板。
