摘要

Background

The Clinical Genomics & Genomic Medicine Education subcommittee of the Human Genome Organization (HUGO) reports on the results of an exploratory genomic medicine survey of healthcare providers (clinicians) in low- and middle-income countries.

Results

281 clinicians from 17 low- and middle-income countries responded to the survey. Representing 20 medical specialties, only 13.6% of clinician respondents are comfortable when discussing genomics in clinical settings. Over 90% of clinicians recognize that genetics and genomics are relevant to their practice and that there needs to be genetics/genomic assessment of patients. Respondents report a wide range of learning style preferences including self-paced online (asynchronous) and live-online educational programming covering introductory content, clinical guidelines for monogenic disorders and when to utilize genetic or genomic testing.

Conclusions

Clinician respondents recognize the importance of genomics and are eager for continuing medical education. Reponses from the survey suggest that a larger scale, second phase survey should be distributed globally.
