Objectives:
- Develop models for training and educational interventions on cancer genomics addressed to health professionals, patients and the general public
- Provide specific education and training for health workers to advance the implementation of genetic testing in oncology
- Promote harmonised and certified European training pathways on oncogenomics for health professionals involved in Molecular Tumour Boards
We aim at laying the groundwork for a training platform that will address multiple challenges and training needs and literacy of healthcare professionals, patients and the general public. By providing specific education and training for health workers, we hope to advance the implementation and increase the use of genetic testing in oncology. Additionally, we will promote harmonized and certified European training pathways in terms of basic e-learning on oncogenomics for health professionals involved in Molecular Tumour Boards. This will improve knowledge, attitude, and practice of physicians about the fundamental principles of genetics and main applications of genomics to cancer prevention and treatment.
