The European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) was founded in 1967 as a professional organisation for members working in genetics in clinical practice, research and education. The Society seeks the integration of scientific research and its implementation into clinical practice and the education of specialists and the public in all areas of medical and human genetics. The Society works to do this through many approaches, including educational sessions at the annual conference; training courses in general and specialist areas of genetics; an online resource of educational materials (EuroGEMS); and a mentorship scheme. The ESHG Education Committee is implementing new approaches to expand the reach of its educational activities and portfolio. With changes in technology, appreciation of the utility of genomics in healthcare and the public's and patients' increased awareness of the role of genomics, this review will summarise how the ESHG is adapting to deliver innovative educational activity.
欧洲人类遗传学学会（ESHG）成立于1967年，是一个面向从事临床实践、研究和教育领域遗传学工作的成员的专业组织。该学会致力于将科学研究与临床实践相结合，并在医学和人类遗传学的各个领域对专家和公众进行教育。学会通过多种方式开展工作，包括年度会议上的教育课程；遗传学一般领域和专业领域的培训课程；在线教育材料资源（EuroGEMS）；以及一个导师计划。ESHG教育委员会正在采用新方法来扩大其教育活动和项目的覆盖范围。随着技术的变化、对基因组学在医疗保健中的效用的认识以及公众和患者对基因组学作用的认识不断提高，本综述将总结ESHG如何进行调整以开展创新教育活动。
