Training activity information

Details

Analyse and interpret NGS data for colorectal and/or melanoma

Type

Entrustable training activity (ETA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion. ​

Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.

Considerations

  • Quality metrics for sequencing data post bioinformatic pipeline
  • Relevant software, databases and bioinformatics pipelines and troubleshooting
  • Best practice guidelines
  • Sample and patient characteristics

Relevant learning outcomes
