Genomics education for nurses in practice.
Genomics information will make it possible to identify individuals who have, or are at risk to develop, health problems and to diagnose and treat them in ways that until recently were not possible. The majority of nurses in practice today do not have adequate knowledge about genomics. This article describes a diverse and extensive education program initiated to provide information to nurses. Important aspects to consider for all nursing genomics education programs are that they need to be relevant to practice, multifaceted, and ongoing as information continues to unfold about the human genome and application to healthcare.

International collaboration on genomics education for nurses.
The International Society of Nurses in Genetics began in 1988 as a venue for nurses around the world to advance their knowledge and practice related to genomics. This article discusses how the organization has conducted an annual international nursing conference, promoted the incorporation of genomics topics into continuing education programs and professional nursing journals, assisted with the incorporation of genomics content into undergraduate and graduate nursing curricula, and defined genetics as a clinical nursing specialty. Genomics education is relevant to nursing practice in all specialty areas and significant to the future of health care.
