  1. One view on integratingGenomics and Informaticsinto the Undergraduate Nursing Curriculum Prepared by Patti Brennan and Stephanie Gilbertson-White Presented to UPC in April, 05; Update Spring, 07

  2. Work to date • Identify and disseminate genomics and informatics competencies (September 04) • Review curriculum and courses for points of articulation (October-December, 2004) • Many points where genomic content or informatics competencies fit • Identify critical points for strengthening • Science Core - eliminate Chem 103-104 and gain the opportunity for a genetics course • Upper division - propose activities & content

  3. Basic competencies upon entry to the nursing major • Able to use email • Familiarity with Office suite (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) • Locate information on the web • Discriminate between scholarly resources and resources for the general public

  4. Developing skills during the nursing major • Document on information systems in every assigned clinical agency • Use a common format for recording information about patients that incorporates all elements of the Nursing Minimum Data Set (*) • Identify genetic precursors and considerations for every patient

  5. Incorporation of Genomics and Informatics Content in Specific Courses

  6. Overview • Capitalize on the strengths in the courses • Strengthen the faculty’s ability to incorporate the content • Three-year phased approach: • 05-06: 105, 212-219, 301, 312-319 • 06-07: 415, 422-449, 419-322 • 07-08: 302, 310, 332, 401, 443

  7. Next Steps • Discuss with faculty & staff • Develop capacity among faculty • Review with course faculty • Develop shared resources • Revise course materials, descriptions and competencies of the graduates

  8. Current Activities • UPC directed modifications in courses • GIfT Brown Bags • GIfT Resources • TECNE • Wednesday 3PM Videobrown bags
