Flipped Classroom Strategy: An Accessible, Application-Driven Approach to Genomics Education.

ABSTRACT

Gaps in nurses' knowledge and application related to genomics exist. This project aimed to develop an accessible genomic education program for oncology nurses. Consequently, the flipped classroom strategy was used. This involved the use of prework consisting of an online genetics and genomics module and optional journal articles. In-person class time built on the prework and focused on specific clinical applications. Outcomes demonstrated that learners were highly satisfied with the educational format and that course objectives were met. Improvement in knowledge of basic genomic concepts, clinical applications, and resources was achieved.
