Description
Summary:The practice-based genetics curriculum has been revised based on feedback from field-testers and is available for nurse educators. Powerpoint materials have been added to the curriculum. Further information about the curriculum can be found at the website: www.fbr.org. The practice-based modules complement the growing number of genetic resources available for nursing faculty and support incorporation of genetics concepts into all levels of nursing education. This educational effort helps ensure that nurses entering practice are prepared to help their clients understand genetic aspects of themselves and their health and available gene-based testing and treatment options.
