Beyond Codes: Translating Genetics To Nursing Practice, Rachel Choudhury

Scholarship Forum 2013

Genetics in nursing practice has moved beyond the study of genes and heredity and now includes genomics, which considers both genetic and environmental causes of diseases across the lifespan. The National Coalition of Health Professionals in Genetic Education (NCHPEG) developed core competence frameworks required of nurses in the area of genetics and genomics.

Christian Villanueva - Trauma Exposure Reported By Women Recently Deported From The U.S. To Mexico, Christian Villanueva
