RESUMEN

In this paper we describe the analysis, planning, design, development, implementation and evaluation of a new online Graduate Certificate in Genomic Counselling and Variant Interpretation (GCGCVI) at The University of British Columbia (UBC). Genetic counselling is now a prerequisite for diagnostic genomic testing in many countries, demanding that genetic counselling practitioners have up-to-the-moment genomic counselling skills and knowledge. Current practitioners reported a desire for more training in this rapidly developing field: our international survey revealed substantial interest in online continuing education addressing themes such as testing and clinical bioinformatics, applied variant interpretation, evidence-based genomic counselling, and other emerging genomic topics. However, our market analysis found no post-graduate program globally that offered such training. To fill this gap, our oversight team of genetic counsellors and geneticists therefore guided development of curriculum and materials, and online learning specialists developed rigorous interactive asynchronous online graduate courses through collaboration with subject matter experts, following best practices in online learning design. Since launch in September 2020, we have gathered learner feedback using surveys and focus groups, and we have used learning analytics to understand how learners engaged with each other and with course materials. Together, these have helped us understand learner behaviour and guide the continuous process of design improvement to support the learning goals of this audience of professional learners. Our courses have been reviewed and approved by the UBC Faculty of Medicine, UBC Senate, and the Province of British Columbia Ministries of Advanced Education and Health, and assessed by the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC, USA) and the Canadian Association of Genetic Counsellors (CAGC) to enable learners to receive North American continuing education credits. To date, 151 individuals from 18 countries have succeeded in one or more course and 43 have completed the entire certificate.

RESUMEN

With a growing 25.5 million people in the United States experiencing limited-English proficiency (LEP), there is a concern over these individuals' experiences in healthcare. Health outcomes of LEP status are well-documented for adults in hospitals; however, less is known about patient experience, pediatric populations, and primary care settings. This study investigated differences in caregiver satisfaction between families with and without LEP receiving healthcare for their child. A sample of 25,118 caregivers whose children from birth to 17 years had met with any healthcare providers in the past year was used. Analyses consisted of unpaired t-tests comparing mean satisfaction of LEP and English-proficient (EP) caregivers in the domains of how often primary healthcare providers spent enough time with the child, listened, provided specific information, demonstrated sensitivity to the family's values, and made the respondent feel like a partner. In all aspects of caregiver satisfaction, mean satisfaction scores were significantly lower for LEP caregivers than EP caregivers. The largest drops were seen in perceived time and sensitivity. These results highlight a need to ensure LEP families receive equitable and high-quality primary care services, ultimately building trust in the healthcare system and improving children's health and well-being.
