May 28 Evaluation Report

Pdf Summary

The data presented is a comprehensive evaluation of a Continuing Medical Education (CME) session regarding Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential (CHIP). The survey insights indicate a predominant positive reception among the 53 participants, with a 96.23% approval for the session's content, as most believed it was balanced and free from commercial bias. Respondents appreciated the speaker, Terra Lasho, Ph.D., for her effective and knowledgeable presentation, which scored an average of 4.66.<br /><br />Participants' feedback revealed a variety of intentions to apply the session's learnings to their practices. These included integrating CHIP clinical practices, refining genetic testing interpretation, considering hair follicles as a DNA source, and planning educational outreach on CHIP. However, a considerable portion, 67.92%, marked 'N/A,' indicating no direct patient care role or relevance to their current practice.<br /><br />From the responses, future topics of interest for case series include management of incidental cancer findings, technology in tumor diagnostics, liquid biopsy, AI in genetics, and technical validations in Genetic Testing. Moreover, discussions on somatic variant interpretation and molecular diagnosis through advanced sequencing techniques were also suggested.<br /><br />Overall, participants expressed satisfaction, finding the session informative and engaging. Requests for recording or slides highlighted a keen interest in continued learning. While only a few participants indicated having an interesting case study to present, ongoing research into ethnic implications in gene expression was noted as a potential future topic.<br /><br />In summary, the survey reflects a positive impact of the educational session with a willingness among participants to incorporate newly gained insights into their practices and calls for enriched discussions in upcoming series.
