1. One view on integrating Genomics and Informatics into 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 1.Able to use email 2.Familiarity with Office suite (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) 3.Locate information on the web 4.Discriminate between scholarly resources and resources for the general public

4. Developing skills during the nursing major 1.Document on information systems in every assigned clinical agency 2.Use a common format for recording information about patients that incorporates all elements of the Nursing Minimum Data Set (*) 3.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
