Education of the medical student and physician must anticipate impending advances in knowledge that alter the practice of medicine, e.g., utilization of genomics and proteomics. Evolution of curricula is accomplished by introducing new material into an already challenging and packed curriculum while not reducing other vital curricular components.

This workshop will combine examples of genomics integration with working discussions of how to locally implement such integration. Models of successful integration will be presented, as will their variations dependent on curricular design. Issues of clinical significance and faculty development will be discussed. The aim is to evolve implementation strategies to be shared during the IAMSE meeting and as a resource on the IAMSE website.
