General Description:
Explore the world of rare diseases through the lens of real-world genetics with this 10.3-hour audio podcast-based learning activity. Participants will listen to three of Gene Pool Media’s podcasts including DNA Today, All Access DNA, and DNA Dialogues. Each podcast has a curated list of episodes to form a module. These episodes highlight the latest research, patient stories, and clinical insights into rare genetic disorders. After listening to the episodes in each module, learners will complete a quiz designed to reinforce key concepts, including gene function, clinical features, inheritance patterns, molecular mechanisms, laboratory markers, and interventions. Successful completion of the quiz allows participants to earn continuing education credits (CEUs). This innovative, self-paced, hands-free format allows learners to integrate cutting-edge genetics knowledge into their practice while earning CEUs through engaging, story-driven content.
