The demand for genomic services has outpaced the capacity of the health system, thus creating opportunities for nurse practitioners (NPs) to develop genomic literacy and expand the genomics-informed services that NPs can offer to optimize safe and equitable healthcare. The new model of NP regulation that aims to educate all NPs, based on a set of common entry-level competencies, has the potential to accelerate the integration of genomics into education and practice. In this commentary, we explore opportunities within a new NP regulatory framework and highlight how NPs can strengthen Canadians' access to genomic technologies as clinicians, advocates, leaders, scholars and educators.
基因组服务的需求已经超过了医疗体系的能力，这为执业护士（NPs）提供了发展基因组知识的机会，并扩大了 NPs 可以提供的以基因组信息为基础的服务，从而优化安全和公平的医疗保健。新的 NP 监管模式旨在通过一套共同的入门级能力来教育所有的 NPs，这有可能加速将基因组学纳入教育和实践中。在这篇评论中，我们探讨了新的 NP 监管框架内的机会，并强调了 NPs 如何能够作为临床医生、倡导者、领导者、学者和教育工作者，加强加拿大人获得基因组技术的机会。
