1
00:00:00,660 --> 00:00:03,150
Hello, welcome to module eight.

2
00:00:03,150 --> 00:00:04,680
Welcome back from spring break

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,950
and congratulations on
finishing up your midterms.

4
00:00:07,950 --> 00:00:09,450
Now that I have all of them turned in,

5
00:00:09,450 --> 00:00:11,250
I'll go ahead and grade those

6
00:00:11,250 --> 00:00:13,440
and get those back to
you as soon as I can.

7
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:14,460
And this week,

8
00:00:14,460 --> 00:00:17,700
now that we're sort of
transitioning a little bit deeper

9
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:22,700
into genetics and genomics
in the clinical context,

10
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:23,970
we're going to talk about some

11
00:00:23,970 --> 00:00:26,670
of the ethical, legal
and social implications,

12
00:00:26,670 --> 00:00:30,240
which is denoted as ELSI for short.

13
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,060
And some of that are
specifically applicable

14
00:00:33,060 --> 00:00:36,660
in the genetics and genomics context.

15
00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:38,460
So there are two lectures.

16
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:41,880
There's really one main
lecture, which is posted,

17
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,770
which kind of goes over some of the basics

18
00:00:43,770 --> 00:00:47,550
of some specific issues associated

19
00:00:47,550 --> 00:00:51,330
with genetic and genomic
testing and their implications,

20
00:00:51,330 --> 00:00:54,120
as well as some of the
laws that are in place

21
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,230
to protect us from discrimination,
genetic discrimination.

22
00:00:58,230 --> 00:01:02,340
And then there's the second
lecture is a shorter one

23
00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:05,310
and that is actually
just some case studies

24
00:01:05,310 --> 00:01:08,100
to talk about what is and is not protected

25
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:12,540
by the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act,

26
00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:13,830
or GINA for short.

27
00:01:13,830 --> 00:01:16,200
We have ELSI and GINA this week.

28
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,510
So that's the second one.

29
00:01:18,510 --> 00:01:22,260
That one, as I said, is a
bit shorter for a lecture.

30
00:01:22,260 --> 00:01:25,410
And then you have some reading
in the required reading,

31
00:01:25,410 --> 00:01:27,840
a couple of sections from the textbook.

32
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,890
And then I have the position statements

33
00:01:31,890 --> 00:01:34,530
from the International
Society of Nurses in Genetics

34
00:01:34,530 --> 00:01:36,660
on a number of different topics.

35
00:01:36,660 --> 00:01:40,620
And sort of where they
fall along those lines?

36
00:01:40,620 --> 00:01:43,560
And I'm asking you for
your assignment this week

37
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,620
to read those position statements

38
00:01:46,620 --> 00:01:48,720
and then to reflect on those for yourself

39
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,740
and in your own practice,

40
00:01:49,740 --> 00:01:51,750
or what you anticipate
will be your practice

41
00:01:51,750 --> 00:01:54,570
if you're not currently having a practice.

42
00:01:54,570 --> 00:01:59,250
And write a reflection
paper on a particular topic

43
00:01:59,250 --> 00:02:01,230
that seems either it's something

44
00:02:01,230 --> 00:02:03,600
that you see a lot in what you do today,

45
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,230
or something that maybe,
for one reason or another,

46
00:02:07,230 --> 00:02:09,060
seems of great interest to you

47
00:02:09,060 --> 00:02:11,910
that I would encourage you to go ahead

48
00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:14,760
and do a little bit of research on that.

49
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,040
So you have the position statement.

50
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,620
You may want to just
check a few other sources

51
00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:22,200
and make sure you have the
most up-to-date information

52
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,040
on things

53
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,500
and then reflect on it and
write a reflection paper.

54
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:29,490
Reflection paper is something
written in the first person,

55
00:02:29,490 --> 00:02:32,250
more of a narrative type
of writing assignment.

56
00:02:32,250 --> 00:02:35,880
And just asking you to
again, reflect on it.

57
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,690
Write then how you feel, what
your position is on this?

58
00:02:39,690 --> 00:02:40,950
When we're talking about ethics,

59
00:02:40,950 --> 00:02:42,903
as I'm sure you're aware,

60
00:02:44,143 --> 00:02:47,490
there's never really just
one right answer, right?

61
00:02:47,490 --> 00:02:49,080
There are many sides to consider,

62
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,550
many positions to consider.

63
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:52,710
So I encourage you to think about it

64
00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:57,390
and really reflect and write
down your thoughts on that.

65
00:02:57,390 --> 00:02:58,920
So that's the assignment for this week.

66
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:00,720
There's no quiz this week.

67
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,630
Because again this kind
of material's really best

68
00:03:03,630 --> 00:03:04,830
to reflect on,

69
00:03:04,830 --> 00:03:06,540
think about for yourself

70
00:03:06,540 --> 00:03:11,540
and not so much a
multiple-choice type of question,

71
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,697
would be appropriate for this.

72
00:03:14,697 --> 00:03:16,350
So really think about it for yourself,

73
00:03:16,350 --> 00:03:17,970
for your own practice

74
00:03:17,970 --> 00:03:20,280
and that will come through
in your reflection.

75
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,080
And then also the discussion board.

76
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:22,913
The discussion board,

77
00:03:22,913 --> 00:03:25,590
I will encourage you to post something

78
00:03:25,590 --> 00:03:27,483
that either you've seen,

79
00:03:29,365 --> 00:03:30,870
or experienced something that you'd like

80
00:03:30,870 --> 00:03:32,100
to share with others,

81
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:33,180
or get their perspective on.

82
00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:35,220
Maybe it's something, you
post something this week

83
00:03:35,220 --> 00:03:36,900
on the discussion board related

84
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:38,970
to what you're writing
your reflection paper on.

85
00:03:38,970 --> 00:03:41,850
Or in doing some research
for your reflection paper,

86
00:03:41,850 --> 00:03:43,230
you come across something

87
00:03:43,230 --> 00:03:45,390
that you'd like to get
other people's feedback on,

88
00:03:45,390 --> 00:03:46,710
or you just wanna comment on.

89
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:48,030
So I encourage you

90
00:03:48,030 --> 00:03:49,920
to use the discussion
board early and often,

91
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,850
especially in a week

92
00:03:50,850 --> 00:03:54,240
when we're talking about
ethics and social implications.

93
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,200
I think that's really important

94
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,610
to get everyone's perspective
and thoughts on it.

95
00:03:59,610 --> 00:04:04,610
So we can have an expanded base
of experience for ourselves,

96
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,750
moving forward with it.

97
00:04:06,750 --> 00:04:09,810
So that is pretty much it.

98
00:04:09,810 --> 00:04:11,970
There's another folder
in the required reading

99
00:04:11,970 --> 00:04:13,110
that is optional

100
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:14,970
and that contains a couple of papers

101
00:04:14,970 --> 00:04:17,190
that I pulled that might be useful

102
00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:19,530
if you want to look up
some more information

103
00:04:19,530 --> 00:04:21,270
on some of those different topics

104
00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:24,660
that are covered in
the position statements

105
00:04:24,660 --> 00:04:26,340
that are included in there.

106
00:04:26,340 --> 00:04:28,890
So look at that, you can pull some other,

107
00:04:28,890 --> 00:04:30,596
of course, pull any resources

108
00:04:30,596 --> 00:04:34,110
that you'd like to use
to help you research it.

109
00:04:34,110 --> 00:04:35,883
But that's basically,

110
00:04:37,170 --> 00:04:39,420
those additional papers
are there for you to use

111
00:04:39,420 --> 00:04:41,920
if you're interested in
reading a little bit more.

112
00:04:42,810 --> 00:04:46,530
So, yeah, I think then with that,

113
00:04:46,530 --> 00:04:49,200
we're pretty much all set for this week.

114
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,700
And I really look forward

115
00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:54,450
to hearing your thoughts and
perspectives, your experience,

116
00:04:54,450 --> 00:04:56,580
even just your gut reactions on things

117
00:04:56,580 --> 00:04:58,500
and kind of talking

118
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:00,930
through some of these situations together.

119
00:05:00,930 --> 00:05:03,000
And then that's gonna set us up

120
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,050
for the rest of basically the
second half of the course,

121
00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:11,010
we're gonna be diving into
some more specific areas.

122
00:05:11,010 --> 00:05:14,970
And how genetics and genomics
are starting to play a role

123
00:05:14,970 --> 00:05:18,591
in different practices and settings?

124
00:05:18,591 --> 00:05:23,130
As well as looking at genetic
testing across the lifespan

125
00:05:23,130 --> 00:05:26,850
and how it's starting to play
a greater role in medicine?

126
00:05:26,850 --> 00:05:29,280
With that, I will say goodbye.

127
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:31,350
And yeah, let me know

128
00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:33,600
if you have any questions along the way

129
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,930
and I look forward to
reading all the discussions

130
00:05:36,930 --> 00:05:38,100
on the discussion board.

131
00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:39,363
Thanks so much, bye.
