P287: A tale of two clinics: Implementation of genetics in family medicine
Abstract
Growing public interest in genetic evaluation and testing has created a demand that exceeds the capacity of traditional medical genetics clinics, resulting in prolonged wait times and limited access to care. Primary care clinicians are uniquely positioned to address this gap, serving as the central coordinators of an individual’s health across the lifespan. Their longitudinal relationships with patients, emphasis on prevention, and comprehensive understanding of personal and family health histories make them ideally suited to integrate, interpret, and act on genomic information within routine care.
