The field of genetics and genomics continues to expand at an unprecedented pace. As scientific knowledge is translated to clinical practice, genomic information is routinely being used in preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic decision-making across a variety of clinical practice areas. As adoption of genomic medicine further evolves, health professionals will be required to stay abreast of new genetic discoveries and technologies and implementation of these advances within their scope of practice will be indicated.
The Association of Professors of Human and Medical Genetics previously developed medical school genetics core competencies, last updated in 2013. The competencies were reviewed and updated through a structured approach incorporating a modified Delphi method.
The updated Association of Professors of Human and Medical Genetics core competencies are presented. Current revisions include competencies that are concise, specific, and assessable. In addition, they incorporate recent advances in clinical practice and promote equity and inclusion in clinical care.
The 2022 competencies will serve as a guide for medical school leadership and educators involved in curriculum development, implementation, and assessment. Use of these competencies across the undergraduate medical curricula will foster knowledge, skills, and behaviors required in medical practice across a wide range of specialties.
遗传学和基因组学领域正以前所未有的速度持续扩展。随着科学知识转化为临床实践，基因组信息在各种临床实践领域的预防、诊断和治疗决策中得到常规应用。随着基因组医学的进一步发展，卫生专业人员将需要跟上新的基因发现和技术，并且在其执业范围内应用这些进展将是必要的。
人类与医学遗传学教授协会此前制定了医学院校遗传学核心能力标准，上次更新于2013年。通过采用包含改进德尔菲法的结构化方法对这些能力标准进行了审查和更新。
列出了更新后的人类与医学遗传学教授协会核心能力标准。当前的修订包括简洁、具体且可评估的能力标准。此外，它们纳入了临床实践的最新进展，并促进临床护理中的公平和包容。
2022年的能力标准将为参与课程开发、实施和评估的医学院校领导和教育工作者提供指导。在本科医学课程中使用这些能力标准将培养广泛专业领域医疗实践所需的知识、技能和行为。
