We hear it all of the time: there are not enough clinical genetics providers to meet the need. Yet, the demands on this workforce are evolving.

In this first hour of the “Path to Precision Health” webinar series, “Building Resilience: Insights from the Genomics Workforce,'' a panel of genetic counseling professionals, representing one of the largest clinical genetics fields, will discuss the needs of the workforce today and how to build resilience to foster a better tomorrow. Join us for the conversation to understand this inflection point and the changes necessary to thrive through this transition.

The Institute for Genomics Education, Workforce & Leadership “Path to Precision Health” webinar series is dedicated to shining a light on the challenges in building the workforce and infrastructure necessary to deliver on the promise of precision health for all.

Join us for a panel discussion featuring Sa’ed Atshan, Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies and Anthropology at Swarthmore College; Peter Beinart, Professor of Journalism and Political Science at Newmark School of Journalism, CUNY; Lihi Ben Shitrit, Professor of Israel Studies at New York University; and Leila Farsakh, Professor of Political Science at University of Massachusetts-Boston.

We seem to be living through an inflection point in the history of Israel/Palestine. While it is still too soon to predict the long-term consequences of Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 and the ensuing Israeli invasion of Gaza, observers of Middle East politics suggest that the ongoing war has ushered in a new phase of the protracted Israel-Palestine struggle. What are the effects of the war on Israeli and Palestinian politics and civil society? How will the war end, and what are the prospects for a more lasting resolution to the conflict? What can the future look like for Israelis and Palestinians? In this panel, four leading experts on different dimensions of Israeli and Palestinian history, politics, and society will join in discussion to help us think through some of these questions.
