A new medical genetics course and computer tutorial enhance medical students' ability to recognize genetic diseases, provide counseling, and refer patients effectively.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Genetics
  • Clinical Practice

Background:

  • Medical genetics education is crucial for clinical practice.
  • Traditional curricula may not adequately prepare students for genetic disease recognition and counseling.
  • The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) sought to improve genetics training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a newly developed problem-based medical genetics course.
  • To outline a supplemental computer tutorial for foundational genetics knowledge.
  • To assess the preparedness of medical students for clinical genetics tasks.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of a problem-based learning (PBL) course into the fourth-year medical curriculum.
  • Mandatory implementation of a computer-based tutorial in the second year.

  • Curriculum designed to build genetic knowledge progressively.

    • Main Results:

    • The integrated curriculum prepares medical students for clinical rotations.
    • Students gain skills in recognizing genetic diseases.
    • Students are trained to provide basic genetic counseling and make appropriate referrals.

    Conclusions:

    • The combined problem-based course and computer tutorial effectively enhance medical students' genetics competency.
    • This educational approach improves students' readiness for managing patients with genetic conditions.
    • The curriculum equips future physicians with essential skills for genetic counseling and referrals.
