The GECKO team has been fortunate to present at education seminars and workshops locally, provincially, nationally and internationally. Here you will find slide decks that were prepared for accredited continuing education seminars.
They use a primary care case-based approach to discuss advances in genomics, how they impact practice and provide tools for practicing providers. With objectives and resources, educators and self-directed learners will find them valuable for continuing education. GECKO is also working to expand our presentation format. More to come!
