Genomic Medicine and Healthcare MSc

<strong>The MSc in Genomic Medicine and Healthcare aims to equip health professionals, with an advanced clinical knowledge of genomics and genetics to inform and support the diagnosis, management and evaluation of people presenting with a variety of conditions.</strong><br/><br/>Knowledge and skills developed on this programme, will support the move towards precision and personalised medicine. The programme aims to support those intended to be and those that are clinicians and health scientists to deliver novel, transformational approaches, improving the quality of care from theoretical and patient-based care to population-based care. By studying on this course, you will be enabled to support health teams to create system wide change with vast improvements in patient outcomes. It provides an up-to-date educational experience that fulfils the needs of healthcare services in supporting the development of outstanding care for the future in wide ranging and diverse populations. By graduating from this programme, you will be part of responsive transformational changes within your practice, promoting continued improvement. The course is interdisciplinary, aligned to new and emerging areas of practice within the field of genomics and genetics and allowing you to benefit from learning alongside students from varying health care and science backgrounds. <br/><br/>The programme facilitates a process in which you can understand where current gaps lie in the care that is delivered from a systems perspective in an integrated way and you will be supported in reaching the correct diagnosis and management, addressing unmet clinical needs. <br/><br/>You will be equipped, not only with current factual knowledge aligned to the latest research and developments within the field of genomics in clinical practice but will also have the opportunity to learn about strategies aimed at considering how best to deal with future advances and challenges in therapy and management. You will be part of a programme that continues Cardiff University’s reputation as a leader in the multi-professional education and genomic research, both in Wales and worldwide.
