Genomics education resources now available on POG website
Cancer genomics are rapidly changing how we approach and treat cancer. A variety of genomic tests are now routinely integrated into oncology practice, yet genetic and genomic literacy among health care professionals are extremely limited.
To help address this growing gap, BC Cancer’s Personalized OncoGenomics (POG) team is excited to launch an online genomics education platform with the aim of addressing this need within BC’s medical oncology community and beyond.
The website features a variety of free and easy to access resources for practicing health professionals, researchers and trainees, and members of the general public, including:
- Introductory level educational videos about cancer genomics
- A current & annotated repository of online learning resources
- A listing of current & relevant peer-reviewed publications, presentations and abstracts
- Information about BC Cancer’s POG program
- *Coming Soon* POG talks – learn about ongoing research projects, upcoming clinical trials and studies, educational topics pertaining to POG and more!
Check back often, as new videos and learning resources will be added regularly.
For more information and to access the resources listed above, please visit the Personalized OncoGenomics program website: http://www.personalizedoncogenomics.org/
Any feedback or suggestions for additional materials would be welcomed, as we will be continuously adapting the content to make it more meaningful and appropriate for users. Please contact Lindsay Zibrik at lzibrik@bcgsc.ca.
