Genetics and genomics are increasingly relevant to primary healthcare but training is unavailable to many practitioners. Education that can be accessed by practitioners without cost or travel is essential. The Gen-Equip project was formed to provide effective education in genetics for primary healthcare in Europe and so improve patient care. Partners include patient representatives and specialists in genetics and primary care from six countries. Here, we report the progress and challenges involved in creating a European online educational program in genetics.
遗传学和基因组学与初级医疗保健的相关性日益增加，但许多从业者却无法获得相关培训。能够让从业者免费获取且无需奔波的教育至关重要。Gen-Equip项目的设立旨在为欧洲的初级医疗保健提供有效的遗传学教育，从而改善患者护理。合作伙伴包括来自六个国家的患者代表以及遗传学和初级保健领域的专家。在此，我们报告创建一个欧洲遗传学在线教育项目所涉及的进展和挑战。
