Pdf Summary
The document provides feedback and statistics regarding the effectiveness of the "Interpreting for Genetics" training program. A total of 151 respondents participated in the training and 98% of them stated that the training improved their understanding of genetics. Similarly, 98% of the respondents said they would recommend the training to a colleague. The majority of the respondents were comfortable with interpreting genetics after the training, with 94% stating that they were "comfortable" or "very comfortable." <br /><br />From June 2021 to May 2022, 76% of the participants saw improvement from the pre-test to the post-test. The document also mentions the support provided by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for this project.<br /><br />The "Interpreting for Genetics" program was initiated by the National Coordinating Center for the Regional Genetics Networks (NCC) in 2017, with the purpose of improving access to genetic services for underserved populations. The program aims to educate interpreters about the content, context, and vocabulary of genetics appointments, with the goal of enhancing communication between service providers and limited-English-proficient patients and their families.<br /><br />The training consists of seven 7-hour virtual classes and focuses on interpreting for either pediatric genetics, prenatal genetics, or Autism Spectrum Disorder services. The document also states that a new curriculum on interpreting for Autism Spectrum Disorder services was pilot tested.<br /><br />Overall, the training program has been successful in improving participants' understanding of genetics and their ability to interpret genetics-related information. The document acknowledges the support from HRSA and emphasizes the goal of improving access to genetic services for underserved populations.
