In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is appropriate that our focus is on patient care and preparation. However, the genetics community is well poised to fill in the educational gap created by medical students transitioning to limiting patient contact, creation of telemedicine patient care, and online learning modules. Our history of agility in learning and teaching is now only inhibited by the time constraints of current clinical demands on the genetics community. This publication is designed to offer ideas and resources for quickly transitioning our education to meet the current demands in the time of a pandemic. Not only will this allow us to continue our strong history of education, it will enhance our strong commitment to using modern educational techniques and tools to address the genetics workforce issues that have defined the recent past. We have the opportunity to aggressively educate for trainees that now have the capacity to learn, and to lead the way in showing how the genetics community rallies together no matter the challenge.
在 COVID-19 大流行期间，我们的重点应该放在患者护理和准备上。然而，遗传学社区完全有能力填补医学生过渡到限制与患者接触、创建远程医疗患者护理和在线学习模块所造成的教育空白。我们在学习和教学方面的灵活性现在仅受到当前临床需求对遗传学社区的时间限制的限制。本出版物旨在为快速过渡我们的教育以满足大流行期间的当前需求提供想法和资源。这不仅使我们能够继续保持强大的教育历史，还使我们能够加强我们对使用现代教育技术和工具的坚定承诺，以解决定义了最近过去的遗传劳动力问题。我们有机会为现在有能力学习的学员提供积极的教育，并在展示遗传学社区如何无论面临何种挑战都团结一致方面发挥带头作用。
