Training activity information
Details
Prepare for a range of clinical appointments through identifying, synthesising, organising and summarising relevant information about the genetic condition in question
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
- Aetiology
- Pathophysiology
- Genetic mechanisms
- Clinical features
- Commonly encountered medical terminology including that relevant to dysmorphology and cancer genetic histopathology
- Relevant literature
- Leaflets, decision aids and support groups
- Genetic test availability and pathways
- Clinical guidelines
- Scope of practice and multidisciplinary team advice
Relevant learning outcomes
| # | Outcome |
|---|---|
| # 1 |
Outcome
Plan, structure, deliver and appropriately document Genetic Counsellor consultations. |
| # 3 |
Outcome
Critically analyse the literature and evidence base to compile information on the aetiology and clinical presentation of a range of genetic and genomic disorders. |
| # 4 |
Outcome
Apply communication skills and knowledge to provide genetic information to individuals and their families across a range of clinical situations being sensitive to patient information needs and the psychosocial and cultural context of the situation. |
