This subject will require students to apply foundation clinical care skills including risk assessment, genetic testing, variant interpretation and analysis, to demonstrate how cases in core genomic specialty areas are managed. The role of personalised genomics and precision medicine will also be explored, using examples of emerging treatments for a variety of genetic conditions.
The intended learning outcomes for this subject are in accordance with the Human Genetics Society of Australasia’s core competencies for training in genetic counselling. The subject will be delivered via a combination of asynchronous on-line content and synchronous tutorials that adopt a problem-based approach to meet the intended learning outcomes.

At the completion of this subject, students will be able to:
- Apply current knowledge of genomic variant interpretation to specialty areas of clinical care
- Apply current knowledge of genetic conditions, including differential diagnosis
- Explain the testing scenarios that individuals may be exposed to (e.g. diagnostic tests, predictive tests, screening tests, research testing)
- Describe the implications of genetic tests and technologies for management of an individual and/or family in the clinical context
Generic skills
- Be proficient in academic writing
- Be confident in public speaking and presenting academic content to an audience
