What you'll learn
After completing this course, health professionals will be able to:
Identify known genetic mutations linked to risk for breast cancer (BRCA1/2) and emerging genetic risk factors (i.e., PALB2).
Describe four key elements of a pretest genetic counseling session, including distinguishing the difference between the four possible test outcomes: true positive, true negative, indeterminate and inconclusive results in genetic testing for BRCA1/2.
Apply two strategies for assessing the psychosocial needs of a patient considering genetic counseling and testing for BRCA1/2.
Discuss three risk management strategies for use among unaffected mutation carriers for BRCA1/2.
Course description
In the realm of breast cancer care, healthcare professionals face the increasingly complex challenge of integrating genetics into their practice while concurrently addressing the multifaceted psychosocial needs of patients. This course fills the critical knowledge gap by equipping healthcare professionals with a comprehensive understanding of genetic counseling's pivotal role in breast cancer management. Through an engaging curriculum, participants will delve into the intricate interplay between genetics, hereditary risk factors, and psychosocial aspects of patient care. By combining cutting-edge genetic insights with strategies to navigate the emotional terrain, healthcare professionals will emerge better equipped to provide holistic, patient-centered care. This course empowers professionals with the necessary tools to not only interpret genetic information but also to engage in empathetic, informed, and supportive dialogue with patients and their families, ultimately elevating the standard of care in the context of breast cancer.

Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
