Why Teach Genetics?

• Accreditation expects genetic/genomic content (AACN, 2008)

• Important for nursing (ANA, 2006)

• NHGRI summer short course in genomics (RN, PA, faculty)

• Content incorporated across curriculum

• Stand alone course

Page 3: Engaging Nursing Students for Genetic/Genomic Learning

Long Standing Course

• Hybrid format (51% F2F)

• Self learning modules (PPT slides)

• 2 Exams

• Group presentation of genetic diseases

• Family Pedigree

Page 4: Engaging Nursing Students for Genetic/Genomic Learning

Course Evaluations

• 30-40% student satisfaction

• Self learning not efective

• Enormous amount of material on exams

• Exam content not clear

• Group presentations boring (12 groups)

• Genetics is not necessary for clinical nursing!
