Physicians' Knowledge of Genetics and Genetic Tests.
Hofman, Karen J.; And Others
Academic Medicine, v68 n8 p625-32 Aug 1993
A survey of 1,140 primary care physicians and psychiatrists who graduated from medical school from 1950 through 1985 indicated that knowledge of genetics is increasing, especially among more recent graduates, but deficiencies remain. Need is seen for greater emphasis on genetics to reduce chance of physician error as more tests become available. (Author/MSE)
