New Web-Based CME Program for PAs

The National Coalition for Health Professional Education in Genetics has officially launched its new Web-based continuing medical education program, Genetics in the Physician Assistant's Practice. The program features a genetics primer, family history exercises, information on genetic tests and links to genetics tools and other resources. The centerpiece of the program is three case studies that allow the learner to participate in the work-up of patients with realistic, common genetic disorders. The cases were designed by PAs for PAs. Up to three hours of continuing medical education are available to PAs upon completing the post-tests. Visit the CME program at pa.nchpeg.org.
