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
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
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
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
Incorporation of
Genomics and Informatics
Content in
Specific Courses
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

Next Steps
•
•
•
•
•
Discuss with faculty & staff
Develop capacity among faculty
Review with course faculty
Develop shared resources
Revise course materials, descriptions and
competencies of the graduates
