BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study was performed to identify primary care physicians' (PCPs) attitudes toward genetic medicine and their perceived needs for education in this area.
Semistructured telephone interviews with 24 PCPs in the northwestern United States.
PCPs are interested in learning more about who should receive genetic testing and what tests are available. Training in counseling and risk communication is desired, as are 'just-in-time' resources to guide clinical decisions.
PCPs are eager to learn about genetic medicine; however, their priorities may differ in emphasis from those put forward by genetics experts. Future educational efforts would do well to build on PCPs' prior knowledge base, highlight the clinical relevance of genetic medicine to primary care practice, and emphasize 'red flags': cues to alert PCPs to a potential genetic contribution.
背景/目的：本研究旨在确定初级保健医生（PCP）对基因医学的态度以及他们在该领域的教育需求认知。
对美国西北部的24名初级保健医生进行半结构化电话访谈。
初级保健医生有兴趣更多地了解谁应该接受基因检测以及有哪些可用检测。他们希望接受咨询和风险沟通方面的培训，也需要“及时”的资源来指导临床决策。
初级保健医生渴望了解基因医学；然而，他们的优先事项在重点上可能与遗传学专家提出的有所不同。未来的教育工作最好基于初级保健医生的现有知识库，突出基因医学与初级保健实践的临床相关性，并强调“危险信号”：提醒初级保健医生注意潜在基因因素的线索。
