Training activity information
Details
Provide advanced genetic counselling input for the management of genomic test results in the reproductive setting
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
- The specific challenges relating to genomics in the fetal medicine clinic
- Diagnostic challenges of prenatal tests and the contribution of antenatal scanning, NIPT and invasive prenatal diagnosis (CVS, amniocentesis and fetal blood sampling)
- Variants of uncertain significance and incidental findings and influence on pre/ante-natal management
- Communicating uncertain information
