This week’s educator Michelle welcomes you to the week’s learning!

We have made it to the final week of our course for patient advocates in genomics. Now comes the most exciting part – it’s time to get hands on.

This week, it’s all about designing your own action plan. You will connect what you have learned with your reality, your ideas, and the changes you want to drive. You have also had opportunities to reflect and plan during the first four weeks of the course.

You won’t be doing it alone in this task. You will receive feedback from your peers and your educators will be here to answer your questions and comments.

This is a space to test, explore, and grow by doing. And remember, what you build here can have a very powerful impact on patients and on research.

Thank you for getting this far. Let’s get to work!
