Scope of coverage of medical genetics and genomics in pre-clerkship programs of Canadian faculties of medicine: A curriculum analysis.

We appraised the scope of medical genetics and genomics concepts covered in the pre-clerkship programs of Canadian faculties of medicine through an analysis of course objectives. Coverage of medical genetics and genomics in pre-clerkship programs of Canadian faculties of medicine appears to be low.
