SUMMARY:Healthcare Professionals' Genomics Education Week
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, June 5 – Friday\, June 9 | Online \nGenomics is becoming an increasingly important part of patient care\, but healthcare providers may not be aware of genomics education resources that are available. The National Human Genome Research Institute and its partners are organizing a social media campaign from June 5 to June 9\, 2023\, that focuses on healthcare provider genomics education. This initiative will include panel discussions\, webinars\, Twitter chats and Q&As. \nFollow on Twitter: #MedGeneEd23 \nThemes: \n\nJune 5: Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing\nJune 6: Pharmacogenomics\nJune 7: Careers in Genomics\nJune 8: Cancer Genomics/OB-GYN\nJune 9: Rare Diseases/Inclusive Genetics\n\nVisit the NHGRI website for a detailed schedule of presentations.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Next-Generation Screening - The Promise and Perils of DNA Sequencing of Newborns at Birth
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 7 | 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. ET | Washington\, D.C. & Online\nOn June 7\, the Roundtable on Genomics and Precision Health at the National Academy of Sciences will host a hybrid public workshop examining the use of DNA sequencing as a supplement to traditional newborn screenings for treatable\, but not yet clinically evident\, conditions. The workshop will feature family\, patient advocate\, and public health representative perspectives on the need for and readiness of newborn DNA sequencing and will explore potential impacts and risks. \nObjectives: \n\nExamine the known and expected benefits\, and potential harms\, of the widespread utilization of newborn DNA sequencing\nExplore ethical as well as data security and ownership concerns associated with newborn DNA sequencing\nAddress issues of next-generation newborn screening equity in the U.S.\n\nSeating is limited for in-person attendees and registration is required. To learn more about the workshop\, please visit the project webpage.

SUMMARY:PGx ECHO
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, June 16 | 1-2 pm ET (12-1 pm CT) | Online \nThe University of Minnesota College of Pharmacy invites all actively practicing clinicians to join their Pharmacogenomics (PGx) ECHO project. PGx ECHO aims to improve health professionals’ confidence in using PGx in patient care by providing case-based education and consultation through telementoring. Every month\, clinicians from across the nation seek PGx advice regarding real clinical cases. PGx ECHO is modeled on the all-teach-all-learn principle and encourages interactive and engaging discussion between attendees and facilitators. \nThe University of Minnesota works with colleagues at Children’s MN\, Ferris State University\, M Health Fairview\, Manchester University\, North Dakota State University\, South Dakota State University\, and Sanford Health to coordinate and facilitate the monthly sessions. PGx ECHO meets the third Friday of every month over the lunch hour. For past ECHO cases and topics\, and a schedule of upcoming cases\, please visit the PGx ECHO website. \nIf you are interested in joining\, please use this link to register. \nPGx ECHO is for practicing clinicians with direct patient care responsibilities. Student learners are welcome to join. \nIf you would like to present a case or have any questions\, please contact pgxecho@umn.edu.

SUMMARY:Emerging Trends in Gene Therapy: Thalassemia as a Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 22 | 2-3 p.m. ET | Online \nAlthough relatively new in terms of clinical application\, several gene therapy-based treatments have\, in recent years\, received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and begun to be used in real world settings in the United States. In addition\, clinical trials using either gene transfer or genome editing continue to show promise\, with the potential to impact treatment for patients with a wide range of hereditary disorders in the future. This webinar will showcase thalassemia as a case example in emerging approaches in gene therapy. \nLearn more and register for the webinar on the CDC event page. \nSpeakers:  \n\nStefano Rivella\, PhD\nProfessor of Pediatrics\, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia\nScientific Director of The Sickle Cell and Red Cell Disorders Curative Therapy Center\,\nChildren’s Hospital of Philadelphia \n\n\nSujit Sheth\, MD\nChief\, Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology\nProfessor of Clinical Pediatrics\, Weill Cornell Medicine \n\n\nMuin J. Khoury MD\, PhD\nDirector\, Office of Genomics and Precision Public Health\,\nNational Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities\,\nCenters for Disease Control and Prevention
