Description of CME Course
Advances in genetics research and its application in medical practice have given medical professionals the resources they need to target specific treatments, tailored to patients’ individual needs, environment, and genetic profile. With all the advances in patient care, however, research in human genetics can cause harm to underrepresented populations in health care, particularly when there is an attempt made to identify genetic causes responsible for traits core to an individual’s identity. In this episode, we’ll discuss these ramifications, and how physicians can better connect with their patients.
