Jennifer R. Klemp, PhD, MPH presented “Genetics and Genomics: How Does
Navigation Fit In?” at the Sixth Annual Academy of
Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+)
Conference in Atlanta, GA. “The real role of genomic
medicine and where we’re going is that we do want to
be more personalized,” Dr Klemp said. “The larger
panel in genomic testing is going to keep taking us in
that direction.”
