Precision Health in Education
Precision Health is shaping health education so that future health providers build expertise and the mindset needed to realize precision prevention, precision diagnostics and precision treatment.
Training the Next Generation
We are preparing the next generation to deliver personalized medicine by evaluating each patient in a wider context, to recognize genetic and environmental factors that enhance tailored medical care and prevention.
Precision Health in Education is also about training researchers to think in terms of Precision Health care and prevention, how to interpret and deploy new forms of data, and build the skills and mastery that will propel data science forward.
An early example of Precision Health in Education is Presence, an initiative that aims to reconnect physicians and patients by engaging colleagues in every discipline from comparative literature to environmental engineering.
Presence, which champions the human experience in medicine, was designed by Abraham Verghese, MD, an infectious disease specialist and renowned advocate for the value of the bedside exam and physical diagnosis.
