TRIG/UTRIG Genomics Education Resources Released

November 13, 2020

Training Residents in Genomics (TRIG) and Undergraduate Training in Genomics (UTRIG) are working groups of the Association of Pathology Chairs that provide materials and guidance for the implementation of a structured and field-tested introductory genomic pathology/oncology curriculum. These groups made up of experts in medical education, pathology and genomics align with the ACLPS objective of encouraging and advancing the highest standards of education in clinical pathology. As such, ACLPS has representatives serving on the TRIG/UTRIG groups.

The TRIG/UTRIG groups just released new remote learning resources online. Please see the announcement and do not forget to follow the link!

The Undergraduate Training in Genomics (UTRIG) Working Group is pleased to announce that the Medical Student Genomic Instructor Handbook and Toolkit are here.  This resource provides the materials and guidance needed to implement a flexible, modular, field-tested introductory genomics curriculum designed for integration into medical or other healthcare provider school coursework. 

In conjunction, the Training Resident in Genomics (TRIG) Working Group has released updated online modules!  With COVID-19 necessitating use of more remote learning opportunities, these modules provide an enjoyable educational experience that successfully translates the in-person team-based learning workshop to an interactive virtual environment. They are not only a great learning resource for residents but for any healthcare provider interested in genomic medicine. 

All of these materials are FREE after a brief registration process.
