Continuing education on genomics significantly improved nursing knowledge, with gains maintained long-term. Participants applied this new genomics information to transform their nursing practice.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Genomics in Healthcare
  • Continuing Professional Development

Background:

  • Genomics is rapidly advancing, necessitating updated nursing knowledge.
  • Effective continuing education models are crucial for integrating new scientific information into practice.
  • Evaluating the impact of genomics education on nursing practice is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an outcome evaluation model for a genomics continuing education conference.
  • To assess the impact of the conference on nurses' genomics knowledge.
  • To determine if nurses applied newly acquired genomics knowledge in their practice.

Main Methods:

  • An outcome evaluation model was applied to a 1-day genomics conference.
  • Surveys were administered pre-conference, immediately post-conference, and 3 months later.
