Personalized medicine is likely to become a future direction of medicine. There is increased knowledge about gene functions in human health and disease and a rapid advance of biotechnologies. Personal genetic testing is available outside the medical room, as direct-to-consumer testing. There is concern about genetic literacy of general public and healthcare professionals which are to handle genetic results and their clinical interpretation. Education and training in personalized medicine and genetic/genomics/pharmacogenomics issues at different levels (high school, university, continuing medical education) is needed. Examples of innovated educational tools and curricula over the world are presented. The educational initiatives in the field of personalized medicine in the Czech Republic are followed from the very beginning.
个性化医疗很可能成为未来医学的一个发展方向。人们对基因在人类健康和疾病中的功能有了更多了解,生物技术也在迅速发展。个人基因检测可以在医疗室之外进行,即直接面向消费者的检测。公众和医疗保健专业人员对基因知识的掌握情况令人担忧,因为他们需要处理基因检测结果及其临床解读。需要在不同层面(高中、大学、继续医学教育)开展个性化医疗以及基因/基因组学/药物基因组学问题的教育和培训。本文介绍了世界各地创新教育工具和课程的实例。捷克共和国从一开始就关注个性化医疗领域的教育举措。
