Workshop/Course Description:
Genetics is finding its way into many different areas of healthcare these days. While interpreters should optimally have training in how genetics is applied in all areas of medicine, this 4-hour training will focus specifically on cancer genetics. By going more deeply into just one area of genetic medicine, we hope to use the short time afforded by a workshop format to effectively improve interpreter understanding – and so interpreter practice – in this focused and previously unaddressed sphere.
At the end of this workshop, you’ll have a clear understanding of:
- Basic concepts in genetics
- The value of genetic testing
- The work of a genetic counselor
- What to expect in a cancer genetic counseling session
