Ensuring best practice in genomics education: A scoping review of genomics education needs assessments and evaluations.

A health workforce capable of implementing genomic medicine requires effective genomics education. We document the wide variability in evaluation approaches and terminology used to define measures and note that few articles considered downstream (long-term) outcomes of genomics education interventions.

• 1 Genomics education interventions developed for health professions over the last two decades, and their impact, are variably described in the literature.
• 2 To inform an evaluation framework for genomics education, we undertook an exploratory scoping review of published needs assessments for, and/or evaluations of, genomics education interventions for health professionals from 2000 to 2023.
• 3 We retrieved and screened 4,659 records across the two searches with 363 being selected for full-text review and consideration by an interdisciplinary working group.

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