Next generation sequencing has had a profound impact on biomedical research. Clinicians and scientists seeking to stay abreast of the field may be challenged by the rapid rate of genomic discovery and technologic advancement. The Genomic Medicine Center, with support of the NIH, offers a four-day CME/CEU program in translational genomics.

Topics include:

Technical and analytic aspects of DNA and RNA

Variant analysis

Gene regulation and epigenetics

Polygenic Risk Scores

Clinical and ethical implications of genomics

The course features hands on workshops to teach NGS analysis skills, including analysis of long read HiFi genomes.

A unique aspect of the program is the opportunity for enrollees to have genomic sequencing completed on themselves.

Participants can use the resultant data file as they learn variant identification and characterization. This strategy, known as Personalized Genomic Educational Testing (PGET) is optional and provided at no additional cost.

This program is supported by the NHGRI Initiative to Maximize Research Education in Genomics: Courses for Skills Development (R25) program.

It's important to note that MFHA does not cover how to diagnose or treat mental health or substance use challenges. What will you receive? Upon completing the training, you will receive a 3-year certificate and gain specific tools and strategies for taking the first steps to provide safety for all individuals in challenging situations. Will food be available? Yes, breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be provided. Please note that the training is limited to 30 people, and you must attend the entire class to receive the certificate. This opportunity is open to everyone, so feel free to share it with your network. Free parking in P4. Oct 16 11:00 AM • Zoom CTSA Connections - Maternal Health The purpose of these zoom collaboration calls is to promote connections between these eight CTSA Institutions, which form the Consortium of Rural States (CORES), in preparation for the release of the annual CORES InterInstitutional Funding Opportunity. Join us for a series of three zoom meetings to listen, share your research focus and ideas, and make connections with potential collaborators at CORES institutions. CTSA Inter‐Institutional Pilot Project Introduction The Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) programs of the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (UNM HSC), Frontiers Clinical & Translational Science Institute, University of Kentucky (UK), University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), University of Iowa (UI), Dartmouth College, Penn State University, and the University of Utah Health are seeking to make connections for all faculty members—senior as well as junior investigators —for pilot projects that will exemplify the CTSA mission of developing clinical and translational research, to promote and support the “bench to bedside to community and practice and back” goal of the National Institutes of Health, National Center for Advancing Translational Science (NCATS). These meetings will focus on the four areas of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) strategic plan and its commitment to increasing representation in research which addresses issues of disparities either because of rurality or underrepresented and disadvantaged groups: • Climate Change and Environmental Health • Health Equity for Underrepresented Populations • For example, pediatric populations, older adults, people with disabilities and/or rare disorders, underrepresented racial/ethnic and/or sexual and gender minorities, rural populations, or populations with low socio-economic status.
