Initiatives
PHGS – Precision Health Genetic Screen
The Precision Health Genetic Screen project is a pilot clinical implementation of genomic screening in 1000 otherwise healthy adults in primary care practices in the UNC Health System.
ABGS – Age-Based Genomic Screening
Age-Based Genomic Screening is a new approach to introducing genomic screening into routine healthcare for young healthy children.
PARADIGM – Promoting Advocacy & Research Awareness for Diversity in Genomic Medicine
The PARADIGM initiative has a three-part mission: 1) to carry out advocacy efforts among members of underrepresented communities to increase understanding about and uptake of genomic sequencing in health care; 2) to raise awareness about careers in genomic medicine and foster diverse trainees entering genomics-related training paths, and 3) to conduct research that identifies and addresses disparities in genomic medicine.
