Development of Competency-based Online Genomic Medicine Training (COGENT).

The fields of genetics and genomics have greatly expanded across medicine through the development of new technologies that have revealed genetic contributions to a wide array of traits and diseases. In 2020, the National Human Genome Research Institute released a call for new proposals to develop accessible, sustainable online education for health providers.

• 1 Thus, the development of widely available educational resources for all healthcare providers is essential to ensure the timely and appropriate utilization of genetics and genomics patient care.
• 2 In 2020, the National Human Genome Research Institute released a call for new proposals to develop accessible, sustainable online education for health providers.
• 3 This paper describes the efforts of the six teams awarded to reach the goal of providing genetic and genomic training modules that are broadly available for busy clinicians.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
