This series is for genetics health professionals led by the Canadian College of Medical Genetics and co-sponsored by Can-GARD. Speakers will be translation-focused researchers, clinicians and innovators. The series will help attendees anticipate, access, and apply new approaches and technologies for patient care.
Title: Novel Outcome Measures For Genomic Medicine
This presentation will describe a framework for outcome measurement in genomic medicine, highlighting the complexities associated with defining the notion of value in this context. Since the value of genomic testing depends upon perspective and clinical context, this presentation will summarize ongoing work to develop and validate novel measures of utility from clinician and patient perspectives.
Learning objectives:
- Describe a multi-dimensional framework for outcome measurement in genomic medicine.
- Understand a methodological approach for developing and validating outcome measures.
- Consider the application of novel outcome measures for a range of clinical genetics settings.
Speaker: Dr. Robin Hayeems
