One of the most exciting fields of modern health care development, advances in genetics and genomics offer significant potential to benefit both patients and those providing health care services. New techniques are improving options around screening, diagnosis, treatment, pharmacogenomics, and general lifestyle advice; and have the potential to affect the work of every practicing nurse in the U.S.
Patients now expect nurses to have an understanding of the care issues around genetics; while the ethical dimension is of paramount concern for nurses, who now have to take into account the ethical challenges around offering these new treatments. At the American Nurses Association (ANA), we are determined to help equip nurses with the tools they need to deal with these challenges, both in terms of educating on the specifics of new treatments, and helping promote a better understanding of the ethical issues surrounding them.
Endorsed by 47 representative nursing organizations and the National Coalition of Health Professional Educators in Genetics (NCHPEG), and updated in a new edition in 2008, the document still provides the gold standard for practicing nurses when it comes to the impact of genetics and genomics.
NCHPEG is an "organization of organizations" committed to a national effort to promote health professional education and access to information about advances in human genetics. NCHPEG members are an interdisciplinary group of leaders from more than 50 diverse health professional organizations, consumer and volunteer groups, government agencies, private industry, managed care organizations, and genetics professional societies. By bringing together these diverse groups to focus on the educational needs of health care professionals, NCHPEG is able to draw on the collective experience and expertise to promote genetics education in a variety of ways.
NCHPEG's mission is to promote health professional education and access to information about advances in human genetics to improve the health care of the nation. NCHPEG seeks to fulfill this mission by:

Released in March 2012 by ANA in partnership with the International Society Of Nurses in Genetics, this publication built on much of the work contained in the Essentials of Genetic and Genomic Nursing: Competencies, Curricula Guidelines and Outcome Indicators (2nd Edition).
In 2005, ANA partnered with the National Human Genome Research Institute, the National Cancer Institute, and the Office of Rare Diseases of the National Institutes of Health to host a consensus panel of nurse leaders to identify, review, seek public comment and publish essential genetic and genomic competencies for all registered nurses. The document was based on the review of earlier peer-reviewed published work reporting practice-based genetic and genomic competencies, guidelines, and recommendations. The resulting publication, The Essential Nursing Competencies and Curricula Guidelines for Genetics and Genomics was endorsed by 47 representative nursing organizations and in January 2007 by the National Coalition of Health Professional Educators in Genetics (NCHPEG) .
In 2009, Essentials of Genetic and Genomic Nursing: Competencies, Curricula Guidelines, and Outcome Indicators, 2nd Edition was published (See Below). This updated edition succinctly addresses and articulates the competencies essential for all nursing practice, as well as the subsequent curricular guidelines for all nursing education. The outcome indicators are an adjunct to the essential nursing competencies and curricula guidelines for genetics and genomics and are intended to define for each competency the knowledge and practice indicators. Developed by an independent panel of nurse leaders from clinical, research, and academic settings, this monograph reflects their goal: to establish the minimum basis for preparing the nursing workforce to deliver competent genetic and genomic-focused nursing care. To supplement its primary content, it also includes a comprehensive selection of resources that pertain directly to the competencies and guidelines. As a result, Essentials of Genetic and Genomic Nursing: Competencies, Curricula Guidelines, and Outcome Indicators, 2nd Edition, proves to be an essential resource for nursing professional development at all levels.
Advances in genetics and genomics are being translated into practice every day. Examples include screening, diagnosis, treatment, pharmacogenomics and lifestyle choices. An understanding of the ethical challenges encountered by those receiving genetic and genomic-based health care is an essential competency for all nurses. Look here for resources that address current and emerging topics in the expanding use of genomics, cutting-edge research, and developments in policy.
Essential Medical Genetics provides students, clinicians, counsellors and scientists with the up-to-date information they need regarding the basic principles underlying medical genetics. It also provides guidance on how to apply current knowledge in clinical contexts, covering a wide variety of topics: from genome structure and function to mutations, screening and risk assessment for inherited disorders.
This sixth edition has been substantially updated to include, for instance, the latest information on the Human Genome Project as well as several new molecular genetic and chromosome analysis techniques. In full colour throughout, it includes a number of brand new features, including: a large number of self-assessment questions; 'Essentials' chapter summaries; further reading suggestions; and case study scenarios introducing clinical situations. An invaluable new section gives illustrated practical advice regarding how to choose the best available online genetic databases and also, importantly, how to most easily and most efficiently use them, for a wide range of purposes.
Essential Medical Genetics is the perfect resource for a course on medical genetics, and is now accompanied by a regularly updated website and the FREE enhanced Wiley Desktop Edition (upon purchase of the book).
The companion website at www.wiley.com/go/tobias features figures from the book in PowerPoint format and a link to the authors' website with regularly updated links to genetic databases and additional self-test questions.
