June 7, 2023 - The NHGRI ISCC-PEG Nursing Genomics Project Group hosts a webinar that begins pre-recorded video of nursing genomics experts answering questions frequently posed by the public and entry-level nurses, as well as by advanced-practice nurses (practitioners and educators). 

Questions include:

- Why is genomics important for nurses and in which practice settings can it be used?
- What is the role of a nurse practitioner as it relates to genetics and genomics?
- How can nurse practitioners be prepared to respond when patients share DTC results?
- Where is genomics included in the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials?
- How can genomic competency be assessed?

The recorded responses to these questions expand upon topics included in the “Nursing Genomics FAQ” resource posted on: genome.gov/nursing-genomics.
