The PPMH Education Initiative fulfills one of the core PPMH missions, which is to provide education to a broad range of stakeholders regarding the fundamentals of precision medicine and the impact it will have in patient care. Within the UNC Community, this includes a seminar series<\/a> on research leveraging data contained in the electronic health care record system and a quarterly mini-symposia series<\/a> on research at UNC related to precision health care. The Education Initiative also supports the UNC Rare Disease Network Education Working Group<\/a>. Additionally, the initiative sponsors UNC EDGE Genomics<\/a>, a training program for undergraduate students from underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds.<\/p>\n

Outside the UNC community, the Education initiative works closely with the PPMH PARADIGM initiative<\/a> and Age-Based Genomic Screening program<\/a>\u00a0to conduct outreach at community events such as the UNC Science Expo<\/a>. Our presence at these events strengthens the relationship between PPMH and the broader community.\u00a0<\/p>\n
