A new online genomics education resource is available for nursing students. This genomics in nursing education initiative aims to equip nurses with essential skills for genomics-informed care delivery worldwide.
Area of Science:
- Genomic Medicine
- Nursing Education
Background:
- Genomics is rapidly integrating into healthcare.
- Nurses require specialized knowledge for genomics-informed care.
- Existing nursing education lacks standardized genomic content.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present an online, open-access genomics education resource for nursing students.
- To outline the curriculum, pedagogy, and implementation strategies.
- To address the need for a harmonized international genomic nursing curriculum.
Main Methods:
- Development of an online, credit-based curriculum.
- Alignment with existing nursing competencies.
- Inclusion of strategies for nurse educator support.
Main Results:
- A customizable and accessible genomics education resource is now available.
- The resource facilitates the integration of genomics into nursing curricula.
- It supports the dissemination of standardized genomic nursing education globally.
Conclusions:
- This resource addresses a critical gap in nursing education.
- It promotes equitable and safe genomics-informed care.
- It offers a scalable solution for international genomic nursing education.
