online educationThe Duke Interdisciplinary Faculty Development in Genetics Project (DIFDGP) was funded by the National Institute of Health, and was designed to develop, implement, operate, and evaluate an interdisciplinary education program. It brought together faculty from colleges and universities with nurse practitioner (NP), nurse midwifery (NM) and physician assistant (PA) programs to learn clinically applicable genetics, pharmacogenetics, genetic counseling, and the related social, legal, cultural, and ethical issues with which the CHG is heavily involved. This, combined with presentations and workshops on faculty development and strategies for curriculum revision enabled participants to return to their home institution with the skill set and didactic tools necessary to integrate human genetics as a recurring theme throughout the graduate curriculum. |
