Genomic Medicine Short Course 2025
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 Children's Mercy Kansas City 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 sequencing
Variant analysis
Gene regulation and epigenetics
Single cell sequencing
Clinical and ethical implications of genomics
The course features workshops to teach NGS analysis skills. 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.

Empowering Teams Through Shared Leadership
Building high-performing teams is challenging, especially when few are trained to lead effectively. In this interactive session, you will learn how to create a safe space where transdisciplinary research teams can thrive by
Better understanding how forming transdisciplinary teams enhances research productivity and innovation,
Exploring strategies for fostering shared leadership to empower team members, and
Developing skills to become intentional, effective leaders and collaborators.
By reflecting on personal team experiences, participants will gain practical insights and create concrete, actionable applications for their teams.
This workshop will be facilitated by Whitney Sweeney, PhD, Scientist with Team Science at the Institute for Clinical & Translational Research, UW–Madison. She holds a PhD in cognitive and biological psychology from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Leveraging over 20 years of experience in higher education, she empowers teams to establish effective processes that lead to enhanced communication, psychologically safe team cultures, and innovative collaborative problem-solving.

University of Utah CTSI: Your Science, Your Voice: Communicating Research for Impact
How can I talk about my work to reach people where they are?
What can I do to increase trust in science and scientists?
How can I use social media to increase the impact of my research?
How can I use my voice as a scientist to make the change I want?
If you’ve ever asked yourself any of these questions, you’re not alone.
Researchers across the U are looking for ways to make their voices heard and communicate their research effectively. The U of U Health research communications team is proud to launch a new workshop series on effective science storytelling, focusing on how to talk, write, and post about research for broad audiences. Our goal is to give researchers the tools to level up your science communications, no matter your previous experience.
