Description:

This interactive session will guide participants in developing non-clinical rotations that incorporate activities and learning outcomes aligned with the Canadian Association of Genetic Counsellors (CAGC) Practice-Based Competencies. Participants will examine how to apply foundational teaching principles, such as backward design, scaffolding, and active learning, to enhance the educational impact of their rotation designs. The session will also feature a case study of a successfully implemented non-clinical rotation, demonstrating how educational theory can be effectively translated into practice. By the end of the session, participants will have taken the first steps towards creating a non-clinical rotation plan. Participants will also leave with practical tools and increased confidence in their ability to support the training of future genetic counsellors in non-clinical settings.

Objectives

At the end of the session, participants will be able to:

  • Design a non-clinical rotation plan that incorporates activities and learning outcomes that align with the CAGC Practice-Based Competencies.
  • Apply foundational teaching principles to enhance the educational value of their rotation designs.
  • Identify potential limitations and challenges in their own rotation designs and propose strategies to address them.
