Genomic testing has entered oncology practice. With reduced cost and faster turnaround times, clinical applications for next-generation sequencing-based assays will only continue to increase. As such, there is an urgent need for health professional education to allow implementation of these new diagnostic tools. However, current medical school, residency, and fellowship training has had limited success in educating physicians in the fundamentals of single-gene testing, let alone genomic methods. In this review, we describe the novel approach the pathology community has taken in genomic education and the potential for application to oncology trainees.
基因组检测已进入肿瘤学实践领域。随着成本降低和周转时间加快,基于新一代测序的检测方法的临床应用只会持续增加。因此,迫切需要对卫生专业人员进行教育,以便实施这些新的诊断工具。然而,目前医学院校、住院医师培训和专科培训在教授医生单基因检测基础知识方面成效有限,更不用说基因组方法了。在本综述中,我们描述了病理学领域在基因组教育方面采取的新方法以及应用于肿瘤学实习生的潜力。
