Abstract

Genomic nursing is a unique and rapidly developing area in health care. As a part of personalized medicine, research on genomics use in health care is leading to many scientific breakthroughs demanding also changes to nursing education. The whole topic of genomics is novel in Europe. The topic has been included in medical science to some extent, but in nursing less until recent years. In Europe there are no agreed guidelines for genetic and genomic nursing competences to be utilized in nursing education. The main objective of the GenoNurse project is to create a model for European Genetic and Genomic Nursing Education and educate nursing teachers and students to use the GenoNurse Model. Another aim is to establish a GenoNurse community and to collaborate with national associative partners in the field of genomics.
