There are limited international needs assessment data to guide curriculum development. Materials & methods: Genomics education experts developed and distributed a survey to individuals with knowledge of country-specific needs: 113 completed surveys (19% response rate) from 34 countries. A high percentage of respondents ranked non genetics physicians as the #1 target for genetics education. Over 70% indicated a need for moderate/extensive modification in physician training. The majority considered germline and somatic topics and targeting primary care and specialist providers equally important. Conclusion: Regardless of country economic level, there is a clear need for genomics education of healthcare providers. The study results can be used to focus future genomic medicine education efforts. }, journal={PERSONALIZED MEDICINE}, author={Johnson, Desalyn and Dissanayake, Vajira H.
