Genomic EQA Directory

Overview:

GenQA is the sole genomics EQA provider offering these unique EQAs for Clinical Geneticists and Genetic Counsellors. These EQAs are online, multi-stage clinical case scenarios following the patient pathway and reflecting real-world clinical cases. We have over 10 years experience in providing Clinical Genetics EQAs expanding our repertoire to cover more clinical conditions. Participants are expected to select relevant genetic testing based on the clinical presentation and family history, to interpret test results and provide a clinical diagnosis.  The Genetic Counselling EQA has more emphasis on the provision of relevant genetic counselling.

These EQAs are supported by an expert panel of international clinicians working within professional guidelines.

Please note that a Genomic Multidisciplinary team (MDT) working EQA aimed at all healthcare workers involved in discussing clinical information and genomic test results to provide a final laboratory report is also available.
