Training activity information
Details
Perform variant interpretations for:
- Colorectal
- 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
- Use and limitations of software packages
- Types of variants
- Variant classification, and actionability
- Context of variants, including tumour tissue, and peripheral blood
- Local and national guidelines
- Databases and literature in the interpretation of results.
- Consideration of variant confirmation
