| Summary: | In 2020, as part of its strategic planning initiative, the Roundtable on Genomics and Precision Health of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine decided to explore four action-oriented focus areas for its activities over the coming three to five years: driving innovation, shaping the policy dialogue, spurring the adoption of tools and approaches, and achieving equity. The roundtable began its exploration of the fourth thematic area - achieving equity in genomics and precision health - by holding a public workshop on October 5, 2021. The workshop, Improving Diversity of the Genomics Workforce, examined the current state of diversity of the genetics and genomics workforce; the structural and social factors associated with the lack of workforce diversity; the impact of diversity in the workforce on access to genetic services and patient outcomes; and possible actions that could lead to a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive genomics workforce. This Proceedings of a Workshop-in Brief highlights the presentations and discussions that occurred during the workshop |
