Horizontal integration of OMIM across the medical school preclinical curriculum for early reinforcement of clinical genetics principles

摘要

PurposeWith the relentless expansion of genetics into every field of medicine, stronger preclinical and clinical medical student education in genetics is needed. The explosion of genetic information cannot be addressed by simply adding content hours. We proposed that students be provided a tool to access accurate clinical information on genetic conditions and, through this tool, build life-long learning habits to carry them through their medical careers.
