DESCRIPTION

The course consists of 9 pre-recorded presentations written by leaders in the genomics community. The presentations include the presenter's lecture, fully synchronized to their slide presentation. All presentations will be posted online via the NSGC web site for access and review. Participants can to listen to presentations on their own schedule, any time of day by accessing the NSGC web site. While the sessions may be viewed in any order, it may be most useful to complete them in the order listed. The format also allows for increased information retention - since each of us learn at our own time and pace, the amount of information retained from the presentation is often greater with a self-directed process.

Participants interested in earning CEUs for participation in the Career Advancement and Professional Development: Finding, Creating, and Cultivating Opportunities course will be required to complete and pass an online quiz for each presentation with a score of 80% or greater.
