Preparing primary care professionals for genomics-informed healthcare.

Primary care professionals need education, workflow support, and genetics access to deliver genomics-informed healthcare effectively.

• Why it matters: As genomics becomes more integrated into mainstream healthcare, primary care providers will be essential in implementing genomics-informed practices, addressing a critical gap in current training and resources.
• What they did: The authors developed a genomics education program for US physicians and nurse practitioners in primary care, emphasizing the importance of training, clinical workflow integration, and genetics expertise.
• The result: Building genomic capability in primary care requires comprehensive education, workflow support, and access to genetics specialists, enabling more effective implementation of genomics-informed healthcare.
