Genomics Precision Med Policy

2 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

This is a 2-credit introductory survey seminar course that explores the social and policy implications of cutting-edge issues and controversies related to genomics and precision medicine. Ethical frameworks will be used to construct analyses and argumentation around current and future policies. Classes will be interactive, with scholarly discussions. Students will (1) prepare short written assignments; (2) deliver several mini oral presentations; and (3) write a policy brief, which will be peer reviewed and revised for final grading. There are no course prerequisites because understandable scientific background will be provided through readings and asynchronous presentations.
