Case-based genomics education and training of neurologists: an Egyptian initiative.

ABSTRACT: Many physicians lack confidence in providing genetic services to patients due to a lack of genetic/genomic knowledge. The study aimed to develop and implement a genomic education and training program for neurologists, a real initiative activity. The program consisted of three steps: (1) conducting an exploratory survey to identify knowledge gaps, attitudes, and concerns related to medical genetics/genomics in practical settings. (2) Designing the framework and implementing the national initiative program. (3) Preliminary evaluation of the program outcomes. The program was conducted as part of postgraduate education at a university hospital. Survey responses (42.5%) indicated that many neurologists expressed the importance of genomic medicine but lacked confidence in applying genomic tests
