Session Description
Despite widespread agreement from professional, academic, and government organizations that all healthcare professionals must have foundational knowledge and skills related to genetics/genomics, evidence indicates that the level of nurses’ knowledge remains less than desired. It is essential that advanced practice nurses are prepared with a foundation of genetics/genomics knowledge in order to provide safe, quality care in an increasingly complex system of care settings. This presentation outlines the development of an online, web-based course designed as an elective for graduate nursing students in genetics and genomics. The presentation will also discuss decisions regarding course design, development, implication, and lessons learned related to the project. A web-based, instructional delivery system provides the opportunity to capitalize on the characteristics of the adult learner and affords flexibility for an individualized approach to learning. This project responds to the critical need for educating nursing professionals in genetics and genomics for application in practice that remains a priority for ensuring safe, quality, health care.
