Abstract
Abstract: Genomic advances are rapidly transforming the understanding of health and illness, making it essential for the nursing workforce and faculty to be equipped to teach and deliver genomic-informed care. The Translation and Integration of Genomics is Essential to Doctoral NuRsing (TIGER) program, supported by the National Human Genome Research Institute, utilizes a "train-the-trainer" model to prepare doctoral nurse educators to integrate genomic content into nursing curricula, practice, and research. The TIGER program aims to build capacity among doctoral-prepared nursing faculty to champion genomics integration across education and clinical practice. Translation and Integration of Genomics is Essential to Doctoral NuRsing includes a kickoff workshop held every January in conjunction with the annual American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Doctoral Education Conference, followed by monthly webinars (February-December) with national genomic experts. The program incorporates asynchronous and synchronous learning, with evaluation through pre/post knowledge assessments, satisfaction surveys, and progress on individual Specific Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound (SMART) goals. To date, TIGER has engaged 61 participants from 24 US states, representing 5.48% (48/875) of AACN-accredited nursing schools. Participants include Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) (n = 30), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) (n = 29), and DNP/PhD (n = 2) faculty. Translation and Integration of Genomics is Essential to Doctoral NuRsing is building national capacity in genomic nursing education. Participants report increased knowledge and access to resources for faculty development, curriculum integration, pharmacogenomics, simulation, and research. Continued expansion is needed to reach more AACN member schools and strengthen national impact. Genomics is foundational to precision health, and nurse practitioners (NPs) must be prepared to integrate genomic science into clinical care. This manuscript describes the background, structure, challenges, lessons learned, and future directions of TIGER with implications for nursing faculty and the future NP workforce.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP) is a monthly peer-reviewed professional journal that serves as the official publication of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
Published since 1989, the JAANP provides a strong clinical focus with articles related to primary, secondary, and tertiary care, nurse practitioner education, health policy, ethics and ethical issues, and health care delivery. The journal publishes original research, integrative/comprehensive reviews, case studies, a variety of topics in clinical practice, and theory-based articles related to patient and professional education. Although the majority of nurse practitioners function in primary care, there is an increasing focus on the provision of care across all types of systems from acute to long-term care settings.
