Program Overview
Understanding Genomics and Epigenetics in Healthcare
Overview
All living things have a genome. In humans, this is all our DNA and contains the instructions to build and repair our bodies. Together we will explore genetics and epigenetics, and how this information applies to community-based practitioners.
Full Description
This workshop will support you to consider both genetics and epigenetics and the importance of understanding these to provide optimum support and healthcare within the community.
As community practitioners, it is imperative that we are aware of the influences on our health, and how we can work together to improve the health of our future generations.

This course is for anyone working in community health.
