For Genetics Specialists
I am a geneticist interested in integrating telemedicine and telegenetics in my practice. Where do I begin?
The Heartland Genetics Network offers a manual for clinicians and periodic training, for those clinicians who are interested in getting started with telegenetics. Western States Genetics Network offers telehealth training and education in conjunction with the telehealth resource centers, for genetic counselors. The American Telemedicine Association and the Telehealth Resource Centers have countless resources, trainings, webinars and conference available on the topic of telehealth. Also linked below is a media article about telehealth.
