Course Description
The 2021 New York Mid-Atlantic Caribbean (NYMAC) Regional Genetic Network Annual Meeting: Expanding Access to Genetic Services- Collaboration, Communication, and Connection brings together a diverse group of stakeholders will explore strategies that can impact access to patient centered genetics care. Topics include interprofessional collaboration, telegenetics, engagement with and learning from families and family organizations, cultural dexterity and social determinants of health, quality improvement, and collaborating locally to address unique barriers to care. New policies in areas such as telehealth and new technologies in genomic testing and data sharing also be reviewed and related to access goals.
Target Audience
With an explicit goal of including diverse stakeholders, the intended audience includes families impacted by genetic conditions, family organizations, physicians and other health care providers and trainees, public health organizations, NYMAC collaborators, federal and local representatives, industry and insurance parties, and other groups whose work impacts or is impacted by genetic services. Learning ObjectivesAt the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:1. Summarize several of the well-curated resoures on genetic topics and conditions available to primary care providers that can be used througout the referral process and in manging patients with genetic conditions.2. List opportunities for broader engagement of providers, families, and public health entitites with family organizations.3. Identify opportunities for new collaborations between NYMAC and your organization.
