摘要:The molecular basis of genetics is often taught apart from the social and ethical implications and students struggle to contextualise clinical practice in genetics with wider implications for patients and families.An integrated approach to genomics teaching with case studies and role-plays that incorporates the biological, social and ethical learning allows students to explore these aspects holistically and can help students understand and communicate the implications for patients and their families of routine genetic tests.It is crucial for students to engage with the social and ethical implications of genomics from early on in the medical curriculum, as genomics and personalised medicine are now part of routine medical care.
