Despite the increasing demand for nurses to understand and apply genetics in their research, clinical practice, and teaching, most nursing doctoral programs (PhD, DNP) do not offer education or training in the fundamentals of genome science, clinical genomics, or their social and ethical implications.1 The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) seeks to foster a qualified and diverse biomedical workforce in order to advance science and improve human health. In this article, we describe an NHGRI-funded, self-paced, free online course designed to improve nurses’ literacy in genetics and genomics. We also describe our efforts to support inclusivity in the course, which is open to all doctoral-level nurses, faculty, and students.
