Training activity information
Details
Prepare and deliver trainee led advanced genetic counselling for complex genomic testing within a range of subspecialties
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
- Large panels, exomes and genomes
- Impact of genomics results on patient management and treatment, including potential research and trials
- Use and limits of genomic technologies
- Incidental findings
- Variants of uncertain significance and approaches to interpretation
- Consent
- Data sharing and inclusion of data in research
- Professional responsibilities of medical colleagues and genetic counsellors and limitations of practice
