Complexities of Clinical Genetics Consultation: An Interprofessional Clinical Skills Workshop

Introduction Advances in genomic medicine contribute to increased demand for clinical genetics services and require physicians to understand the interprofessional practice of this field. Medical students receive a foundation in genetics during preclinical studies, but variability in clinical experie...

Medical students receive a foundation in genetics during preclinical studies, but variability in clinical experience may limit knowledge of and recruitment into this clinical specialty. In this resource, we describe an approach for simulating exposure to the practice of clinical genetics during the core pediatrics clerkship. Methods Prior to class, students researched and considered a mock genetics case. In class, each of four small groups discussed two cases demonstrating varied presentations, with facilitation by genetic counseling students. Each case highlighted the variability in presentation, testing, management strategies, and psychosocial issues of a genetics case. Groups reported out to the class, and individuals completed an anonymous evaluation survey. Results Surveys were distributed to nine of 10 pilot sessions (210 of 235 students) with a response rate of 48%. Students frequently reported no previous exposure to seeing patients with genetics professionals, indicated a preference for learning in case discussion format over traditional lectures, and felt the format helped them apply clinical skills and reasoning. Medical students appreciated the opportunity to interact with genetic counseling students in an interdisciplinary setting and desired further educational opportunities regarding delivering complex information to patients and their families. Discussion This session expanded exposure to clinical genetics content and professionals, serving as an important foundation for further development of genetic knowledge during clinical training.Jodi D.
