Learning Modules

Advancements in genomics have made it important for healthcare providers, like nurses, to integrate genomic knowledge into their practice. The online LINKAGE modules are designed to enhance nurse’s literacy in genomics and understand its application to nursing practice, healthcare, and society. These modules cover a wide range of topics including foundational genetics knowledge, cancer, pharmacogenomics, and genetic disorders. The knowledge gained from these modules will help learners understand the impact of genomic science on the care of patients and families, ultimately allowing them to provide comprehensive and holistic nursing care.
