Objective: This study surveyed practicing physician associates/assistants (PAs) about their genetics-genomics knowledge, attitudes, and application in practice.
Methods: A 25-question electronic survey was emailed to each constituent organization of the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA) with a description of the study and a request to forward to their members. Additionally, a posting was displayed in the bulletin board section of the online AAPA Huddle.
Results: Of the 420 PAs who completed the survey, few are knowledgeable (25%) about or confident (13%) in applying a genomic approach to patient care, although most (61%) think genetics-genomics is important to delivering high-quality care. Remarkably, 97% of PAs surveyed are interested in genetics-genomics continuing medical education.
Conclusions: PAs lack knowledge and confidence in integrating genetics-genomics into patient care; however, they have a positive attitude toward genetics-genomics and want to improve their knowledge and confidence through education.

The literature available on the topic of education programs for noncancer patients' informal caregivers (ICs) is heterogeneous and fragmented in the setting of palliative care (PC). We conducted a scoping review (ScR) to map the literature on educational programs for ICs in home-based PC, considering the available reviews, qualitative studies, observational studies, studies of validation of measurement tools, uncontrolled trials, nonrandomized controlled trials, and feasibility studies. This ScR included 21 eligible records by searching PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and CINAHL databases.
