Microlearning: Evidence-based education that is effective for busy professionals and short attention spans.

Microlearning uses short educational interventions to provide learners with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform specific tasks or solve immediate problems. This approach is increasingly used across digital platforms to engage learners and foster quick comprehension. Microlearning can be used in clinical genetics education to deliver a comprehensive educational intervention that is segmented into smaller discrete but complimentary components.

A team-based approach to cardiogenomic education.

Partnerships with adult education experts can provide additional resources and improve the level of instruction, thereby increasing the impact of an educational intervention. This report discusses the experience of a multidisciplinary team of educators, clinicians, and researchers partnering to develop evidence-based education for cardiology practitioners.
