New in @NatureMedicine: Evaluating #genomic tech needs a whole-of-system approach, but implementation is complex. This review synthesizes a decade of #healtheconomics insights & real-world experience through global collab, co-authored by Dr. Hayeems. Read: https://t.co/lrXVq3n6AO

🚨 At #CAGCCCMG2025, @MichaelMackley from GENOMETRICS highlighted the urgent need for Canada’s genetics services to evolve with the rise of genomic medicine. Shifting roles, growing demand, and system-wide change are on the horizon. #Genomics @GeneticistsCCMG @CAGC_ACCG

Excited to share a new publication from @michaelmackley and Dr. Robin Hayeems, outlining a framework to support clinical teams in designing and evaluating genomic mainstreaming efforts. Read the full @GIMJournal publication here: https://t.co/J8RujiOoZN #GenomicMainstreaming

@HannanehF We were grateful to have this essay included in the @ELSIhub and @hastingscenter Special Report: Envisioning a More Just Genomics.

Please check out the other great essays in the Special Report here: https://t.co/VtCAB4XQP7

The current model of patient-initiated recontact undermines the potential for reanalysis to rectify inequities in genetic testing. 🧬

It's time for a systematic approach. 🖥️

Pleased to (belatedly) share reflections from @HannanehF, Lauren Chad, and me: https://t.co/uNCcDaUQd4

[Michael Mackley @MichaelMackley]

If the population at large is to benefit from advances in genomic medicine, genetics services cannot do this alone.

[Michael Mackley @MichaelMackley]

Heading back to 🇨🇦 from @MCRI_for_kids @TeamVCGS with new ideas and new friends! Thank you to everyone who was so generous with their time and ideas, especially @drbelindadawson, @ClaraGaff, and @ZornitzaS. I look forward to many inconveniently timed Zoom calls in the future!

[Michael Mackley @MichaelMackley]

Feeling fortunate to be visiting @MCRI_for_kids 🇦🇺 this month and last, generously hosted by @MelbGenomics @ClaraGaff @drbelindadawson. Learning all about efforts to transform the delivery of genomic medicine, and excited to take lessons back to @SickKidsNews Toronto. 🇨🇦

🧬Medical #genetics #resident and GENOMETRICS team member @MichaelMackley had a busy couple of days presenting @GeneticistsCCMG annual conference on integrating non-geneticists into sequencing delivery and exploring the role of medical geneticists in the genomics era. #CCMG2024

👇🏼 a thoughtful must-read in @TheLancet for all of those involved in genomic medicine, from some of the most thoughtful people involved in genomic medicine

[Clare Turnbull- Prof/NHS Dr @clare__turnbull]

Today in the @TheLancet, we UK geneticists argue: "Population screening requires robust evidence—genomics is no exception"

Are you a final year med student in Canada? Looking for info about joining the best specialty there is (see thread)? 🧬 Register for the #CaRMS Medical Genetics info night! 👇🏼

(I’ll add a plug for the best program in Canada here at @uoftmedicine @SickKidsNews, but I’m biased.)

[Hanna Faghfoury @HannanehF]

It’s CaRMS season! Are you a med student interested in learning about training to be a Medical Geneticist? Register for our info session on Wed November 22 730-9:00 EST, where all 7 🇨🇦 #medgen Residency programs will be there to answer Qs!

[Hanna Faghfoury @HannanehF]

"Please re-contact us every few years as we may have updates for you" are words commonly stated to genetics patients by their providers. Commentary by @MichaelMackley and Dr. Lauren Chad @sickkidsnews explores the equity implications of this approach. https://t.co/pH8CmsRRtX

[Michael Mackley @MichaelMackley]

As we refine #recontact practices in clinical genetics the (in)equity implications of a shared model of responsibility must be considered. The current model is falling short--potentially failing those that could need it most. Our thoughts in @ejhg_journal: https://t.co/LIX1V0RKiJ

@a_m_mastroianni what’s a blog?

[Michael Mackley @MichaelMackley]

@HannanehF Don’t worry—you’ll still get the email eventually :)

[Michael Mackley @MichaelMackley]

@HannanehF I almost emailed you this morning, but then remembered you were just back and decided to wait, I hope this helps.
