Title of Collaborative Activity: |
Inter-Society Coordinating Committee (ISCC) for Practitioner Education in Genomics (PEG) |
Description of Collaborative Activity: |
This education collaborative facilitates sharing interactions among professional societies, agencies, and health systems. It intends to enhance the accrual of knowledge and skill among practitioners applying genomic results to clinical care. In its start-up phase, the ISCC-PEG focused primarily on physicians and dentists. It has since expanded to engage and collaborate with allied practitioner groups such as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, genetic counselors, and nurses comprising integrated health care teams. It will continue to add other relevant professions and add to the reviewed and searchable educational resources on its website. |
