🤖 Plain-English Summary

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.

🔑 Key Findings

  • All course objectives linked to medical genetics and genomics in pre-clerkship programs of Canadian faculties of medicine were compiled.
  • From this, the fraction of objectives dedicated to medical genetics and genomics was calculated.
  • Course objectives were also categorized according to a curriculum and a competency classification.

💡 Why This Matters

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