. Davis described some of the myths and mistakes in graduate and continuing professional education in medicine and traced how these myths and mistakes contribute to a serious problem in the health care system: the gap between what is known by medical researchers about genetic influences on health and how this knowledge is applied in current medical practice.

Finally, it is a myth that continuing medical education and, to some extent, graduate medical education, are isolated activities unrelated to health systems, health care delivery, or patient outcomes, Davis said. "If we think about it that way, we are bound to fail in genomics education." THE CLINICAL CARE GAP Today, a gap exists between the knowledge available to inform health care and what actually happens in health care settings, Davis said.

"We do not know what we do not know. Thinking about education, absent things like feedback and observable data, means that learning may fall fallow." Finally, many complex aspects of the health care system influence the translation of evidence to practice, including the roles of health care teams, the availability and utilization of resources, governance, and leadership.

Leverage change, Davis suggested. Identify other things that are occurring in the health care system that may be able to reduce the clinical care gap and leverage those to elicit the desired change.

of AAMC, which provides genetics teaching resources. Finally, as in all areas of education, messages can be spread by embedding them within current education and practice approaches and by using a train-the-trainer model.
