Initiative Open Lab for ErCLG education and exchange

Here we start an initiative, which can be prepared during Covid-pandemia:

We suggest that labs throughout Europe which would be open to recieve "Clinical Laboratory Geneticists in education" and also full educated people who are interested to learn new methods can contact Thomas Liehr and are then included in the list below.

This means these labs can be contacted and 1 to 15 day internships may be requested and arranged with that lab for free - provided the person comes from a lab working in Human Genetics diagnostics. Traveling and living costs for sure need to be covered by the guest.

Courses potentially suited for ErCLG education

This list just includes examples for courses and makes no claim to completeness.
Also we do not know exactly content of all courses listed here.

  • Courses listed on ESHG webpage
  • Courses offered by the Wellcome Trust
  • ABMGG-Accredited Clinical Laboratory Training Programs in US, as Post-Doctoral Lab Fellowships
  • 5th course "Basics in human genetic diagnostics – A course for Clinical Laboratory Geneticists in education" Hotel Mercure, Figueira da Foz, Portugal by Isabel M. Carreira, Thomas Liehr, Joana B. Melo, Susana Ferreira

     

    From ECA Newsletter 2022:

    The Goldrain Course 2022

    The Goldrain Course in Clinical Cytogenetics will be held in Goldrain Castle (South Tyrol, Italy), 20-28 August 2022.
    The E.C.A. offers two Fellowships to cover the course fees and the accommodation. For further information please write to Prof. Albert SCHINZEL (schinzel@medgen.uzh.ch)

 

-> -> -> Also some interesting courses and vidoe tutorials are available

              for Genome Browser training

 

 

Courses to be visited by CLGs in education from group 2b and 3 countries should contain primarily fields the candidates cannot cover in their homecountries.

For group 2b fields not covered in the national CLG education are:
- basic knowledge in statistics
- basic knowledgeon bioinformatics and biobanking issues
- knowledge about how to organize and lead
- knowledge of oncology tests including methods
- Knowledge of clinical indications and the clinical utility and cost effectiveness of various testing procedures
- Deeper knowledge and specialized training in main subjects of genetic, laboratory diagnostics, i.e. inherited cancer genetics and clinical genetics
- In depth knowledge on interpretation of genetic laboratory findings, more specifically results from cytogenetic, molecular cytogenetic, oncogenetic, molecular genetic and biochemical genetic analyses.
- knowledge about general healthcare policy, goals and priorities.
Most of these points may be covered in a basic course on human genetic diagnostics.

 

Candidates from group 3 countries need to have at least one basic course on human genetic diagnostics and one one a more specialized topic of the field (e.g. oriented towards modern disgnostic techniques and applications)

The basic course(s) should cover:
- Basics of human genetics and genetic counselling (including databases)
- Cytogenetics and molecular cytogenetics (including reporting and databases)
- Molecular genetics (basic techniques, Array-CGH, PCR techniques incl. MLPA, Sanger sequencing – including reporting and databases)

The more specialized topic course(s) can e.g. cover:
- any of the topics covered in basic course in more detail
- next generation sequencing
- etc.
