Ensuring best practice in genomics education: A theory- and empirically informed evaluation framework.

🤖 Plain-English Summary

Implementation of genomic medicine into healthcare requires a workforce educated through effective educational approaches. We detail our mixed-methods approach involving an expert workshop, literature review and iterative expert input to reach consensus and synthesis of a new evaluation framework for genomics education.

🔑 Key Findings

• However, ascertaining the impact of genomics education activities or resources is limited by a lack of evaluation and inconsistent descriptions in the literature.
• We aim to support those developing genomics education to consider how best to capture evaluation data that demonstrate program outcomes and effectiveness within scope.
• Here, we present an evaluation framework that is adaptable to multiple settings for use by genomics educators with or without education or evaluation backgrounds.
