1. Lessons Learned in Developing a new Educational Tool - an Interactive Media Program for Genetic Education

2. Andy Faucett, MS, CGC Joined after first year
Involved in content development and editing and distribution/marketing
Will share personal insights

3. Genetics in Clinical Practice: A Team Approach
Project description
Joint effort – CDC and Dartmouth Medical School (IML)

4. Importance of the Team Multiple viewpoints – perceptions
Include educators
Include people working in the field

5. Compromise
Necessary to achieve the best product – professionals (geneticists) may be content experts, but often not perception experts

6. Importance of Networking
There are many great programs out there
How can you “add to”/ compliment other programs
How can other programs “add to” / compliment your efforts
Way too much information for any one effort to cover

7. Two Main Goals for CDC
Provide genetic education to improve use of genetic testing and knowledge from Human Genome Project
Develop and test new educational model

8. Adult (Practicing Professionals) Model
Don’t attempt to explain everything
Reference glossaries and other resources
Get to the “importance” quickly to maintain interest

9. Adult (Practicing Professionals) Model
Let the learner decide order
Leave the learner with some questions to encourage further learning
Let the primary care physician decide what level of care they can/can’t or will/won’t provide

10. Evaluation of the program
Review by Advisory Board
Workshop review by primary care physicians in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire
Medical students at Dartmouth
“Trained” patients
AAMC – American Association of Medical Colleges
Recording all feedback and comment
