Background:
With the exponential development of genetic and genomic (GG) knowledge and technology comes a great responsibility for nurses to be prepared to educate and support their clients; however, educational gaps in nursing curricula are common. This article describes the process and results of assessing GG content in a Doctor of Nursing Practice-Family Nurse Practitioner (DNP-FNP) program and the approach to addressing the identified gaps.
Method:
A DNP-FNP curriculum was reviewed to identify GG gaps.
Results:
Eleven GG gaps were identified. Interactive case studies were incorporated into the DNP-FNP program, addressing seven of the gaps. Students appreciated the applicability of the GG content to their future practices.
Conclusion:
Nurse educators must evaluate their curricula and develop a plan to incorporate GG content for graduate students. Online case studies provide a simple way to address GG gaps and increase GG knowledge for both graduate nursing students and faculty.
