Genomics education opportunities

• 3 hour workshop + 2 hours of online learning
• Online
• For medical oncologists

Learn about the use of genomic testing in oncology through self-directed online learning followed by a case-based interactive workshop. The online material and workshop will cover genomic variants (somatic) contributing to cancer, genomic testing for adult cancers, how to interpret genomic test reports and actionability.

• 2 hours
• In-person
• For paediatricians and adult physicians in Warrnambool, Hamilton and Portland

Learn about the use of genomic testing in your practice, working through clinical cases with experts. This workshop will cover when to use genomic tests, eligibility for Medicare-funded tests, how to interpret test reports, and potential implications for patient management.

• 1.5 hours
• In-person
• For paediatricians in Shepparton

Learn about the use of genomic testing in your practice, working through clinical cases with experts. This workshop will cover when to use genomic tests, eligibility for Medicare-funded tests, how to interpret test reports, and potential implications for patient management.

• 1 day session + 12 hours pre-reading per workshop
• In-person + online interactive pre-reading
• For medical scientists who intend to move, or have recently moved, into diagnostic testing for rare germline disorders

This workshop series provides a solid understanding of variant interpretation principles and the opportunity to work through real-world cases with experts.

The series features three in-person all-day workshops which can be taken in sequence or stand-alone.

The workshops are only open to those employed by Melbourne Genomics Health Alliance member organisations and are almost full.

• 2 days of workshops working through complex cases + self-directed learning
• In-person + online interactive pre-reading
• For medical scientists who want to extend their knowledge and skills in diagnostic testing for rare germline disorders

Learn directly from experts in the field!

This course provides an opportunity for those already practising variant interpretation to refresh their understanding of key principles and processes before applying and extending their knowledge and skills by working through more complex cases.
