Overview

This Hereditary Cancer Genetics conference is a single-day lecture series that provides professional training in clinical cancer genetics hosted by one of the largest cancer genetics centers. The goal of the course is to provide a foundation of knowledge in cancer genetics and highlight current developments in the field of cancer genomics to inform patient care. The course will provide:

  • an overview of cancer genetics risk assessment;
  • discuss cancer-specific risks and management for hereditary cancer syndromes;
  • highlight oncologic therapeutic implications of germline findings;
  • review genetic findings from tumor-profiling results with hereditary implications; and
  • discuss the changing landscape of provision of genetics care.

We are pleased to offer AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ and ABIM MOC points for this course. An application is pending for Category 1 Continuing Education Units for Genetic Counselors.
