Pedigree Analysis: A Team-Based Learning Activity

Introduction Regardless of their specialty, physicians, particularly those practicing primary care in rural areas, typically encounter genetic conditions. Therefore, it is important to incorporate genetic principles into medical training prior to students’ clinical rotations. Methods The advance pre...
