2022 ISONG World Congress - "Holistic Approaches to Precision Health: Intersection of Research, Education, Practice, and Policy"

The International Society for Nursing in Genetics (ISONG) Congress will be hosting Pre-Congress workshops to address critical education in genomics. The workshops will be held in person on Thursday, November 10, 2022, at the Washington Duke Inn in Durham, North Carolina, USA.

The planning committee aims to select a mixture of topics that will reflect research, education, and clinical practice. Individuals, teams, and panels that address a practical application of a topic with a Q&A session will be considered for acceptance. Members of the ISONG community have expressed interest in topics such as:

• Foundational Genetics/Genomics for Nurses
• Clinical Application of Genetics/Genomics (Disease-focused [e.g. oncology or cardiovascular disease] or broad)
• Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics
• Best Practices in Genetics/Genomics Education for Nurses
• Omics Research or Methodology
• Epigenetics

Please do not begin the application until you have all the material required – you cannot save the form and come back to it later.
