GENOM
Genomics Essentials in Hematologic Malignancies
Genomics is central to the diagnosis, risk stratification and prognosis, disease monitoring, and therapeutic decision-making in hematologic malignancies. Clinicians managing patients with hematologic malignancies are faced with making decisions about which tests to order and when, interpreting test results, and which therapies to select–including when to start, stop, adjust, or change.
This program will provide clinicians treating hematologic malignancies with a foundational understanding of genomics, expert insights on the current applications/practical strategies of genetic testing, and real-world patient case examples to demonstrate how to apply new knowledge of genomics to the optimal management of patients. Participate in GENOM, a free education program created in partnership by ASH, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and The France Foundation.
The GENOM program offers online learning modules for CME credit designed to help clinicians identify genomic principles, applications, technologies, and terminology relating to biomarker development. The course also includes an audio component available through ASH’s new podcast, “HemeTalks: Conversations in Hematology Education.”

Perspectives Podcasts
This series of six, 15-minute podcasts feature faculty from academic and community oncology settings discussing disease-specific experiences with genomic testing, from test ordering to therapeutic decision-making steps. Topics include AML, ALL, CLL, MDS/CHIP, Myeloma, and Lymphoma.
Who Should Participate?
This activity is intended for hematologists, hematologists/oncologists, medical oncologists, nurses, and physician assistants and nurse practitioners who are caring for patients with blood cancers.
