GenePod - The Genetics in Medicine Podcast

Adoptees and others often have little or no access to family medical history, which puts them at a clear disadvantage with regard to aspects of their medical care. Could genomic analysis help to close this health disparity? Listen to GenePod, the Genetics in Medicine Podcast for an exploration of how genomic testing might be used in this context.

GenePod: August 2015 - The Market for Consumers' Genetic Information

It will come as no news to the audience of Genetics in Medicine that keeping up with our field and securing adequate reimbursement is getting harder and harder. At least part of this is a result of our success and reflects the growing relevance of genetics to patient care. In this month's GenePod, the podcast of Genetics in Medicine, this topic is explored with reference to a recent article published in GIM that surveyed practitioners around the world about how they handle these issues.
