Public Genomic Literacy: Current Status and Paths to Improvement

As genetic testing becomes increasingly accessible to the general public, the need for foundational genomic literacy has never been greater. Yet significant gaps remain between the pace of scientific advancement and public understanding of genetic concepts, testing options, and the implications of results. Drawing on lessons learned from sponsored genetic testing programs and partnerships with patient advocacy organizations, this webinar will explore the current landscape of genomic literacy and discuss practical strategies for improving understanding across the communities most impacted by these technologies.
