  • Genomics in the Clinic (germline, heritable)
    Context and foundations for genomic testing in adult and paediatric clinical settings.
  • Genomics for Oncologists (somatic)
    Context and foundations for genomic testing / molecular profiling in adult oncology.
  • Genomics for Paediatric Oncologists (somatic)
    Context and foundations for genomic testing / molecular profiling in paediatric oncology.


WHAT’S IN EACH COURSE?

  • Foundational concepts
  • The range of genomic variants (germline and/or somatic)
  • Genomic tests used in medical specialties and/or cancer settings
  • Selecting the right genomic test or cancer panel for a patient
