Program Faculty

The Core Working Group and Expert Advisory Committee for Genetic Dilemmas in Primary Care are listed below.

We have also provided a link to a PubMed search for each faculty member where such a search is likely to result in a list of additional work and/or publications that may provide supplementary information of relevance to this program.

However, it is also possible that certain search results that are unrelated to the faculty member may be returned, especially if there are other people with the same name. It is beyond the control of the individual faculty member, the Genetic Dilemmas in Primary Care project team or The Hastings Center to control which content is returned in these search results.
