Critical assessment of implementation of genomic medicine to clinical practice in Aotearoa, practical big-data analysis and a mini research project.
This paper builds on topics covered in GEHM 702 and takes a practical approach to explore how genomic data is currently analysed and incorporated into routine practice, and how advances in genomic medicine can be implemented for equitable health gain.
