| Description |
This is a case-based educational session designed to help you: 1. catch up on basic material if you graduated before Genetics was a requirement, 2. keep up on the latest Genomics technological and pharmacological advances including sequencing, screening, gene editing, and individualized healthcare, and 3. look to the future and how our approach to patient care will change in this fast-developing field of focus. We’ll use cases of children with conditions such as muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, Prader Willi, spinal muscular atrophy, Ehlers-Danlos, and tuberous sclerosis (with reference to other genetic conditions too) to introduce and reinforce important concepts in genetics/genomics and epigenetics/epigenomics in a very relevant-to-clinical-practice format. PTs, PTAs, and students from all levels of experience are encouraged to attend to gain helpful information/ resources and contribute to the discussions.
