Osaamistavoitteet

After completing the programme you will be able to promote high standards of practice, encourage professional growth and increase public awareness of genetic counselling. You will understand comprehensive and highly specialised concepts, methods and knowledge corresponding to the specialised competence in genetics and genomics, which are used as the basis for independent thinking and research.

We offer the global perspective to integrate the competence of a registered nurse, public health nurse, midwife or a biomedical laboratory scientist to the genetic-genomic area. When nurses and biomedical laboratory scientists are to deliver safe, quality care, they need to be able to demonstrate competence in genetics-genomics as it applies to their practice specialty. You will have the ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, formulate judgments with incomplete or limited information, always reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of this knowledge.
