Bioinformatics for medical students: a 5-year experience using OMIM (R) in medical student education

摘要

Purpose: Given advances in genomic medicine, medical students need increased confidence in clinical genetics skills to address multiple genetic conditions. After success of first-year medical school instruction in the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM (R)) database, we report the impact on gaining confidence in broad clinical genetics skills in 5 subsequent years.
