medical education

JHU medical education curriculum reform genetic paradigm

The interplay of genes and proteins and environment is entirely unique for every patient, so the physician's challenge is to understand the variability of the genetic and environmental factors that lead to disease, try to craft a prevention plan, and, if necessary, a treatment plan based on the patient's unique variability. And then to be able to evolve that plan over time as new information is added.
