Training Residents in Genomics (TRIG) Working Group
• Goal: Help ensure implementation of a genomics curriculum in every pathology residency program by July 2012
• Revise the BIDMC curriculum and develop tools for national implementation
• Utilize outreach resources of participant organizations including meetings/courses/resident forums to promote curricula.
• Develop questions for the RISE.
July: Present objectives/lecturesat APC/PRODSAnnual Meeting
September: SubmitRISE questions/survey
Conferences: ACLPS, ASCP, NSGC, NCHPEG, USCAP
March: Present lectures at USCAP Annual Meeting
June: Possible R25 grant funding, $300,000 per year for 5 years
2011 2012
TRIG on track for 2012!
March: Genomics appears on RISE
March: Objectives/structure completed
2010
December: First conference call
May: Publication of TRIG review in Personalized Medicine

Cancer Education Grants Program (R25/PAR-08-120)
• Purpose: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), encourages applications for the development of: – Innovative cancer education programs; and – Cancer research dissemination projects that can
be completed within 5 years.
R25: Specific Aims1) To develop a pathology resident genomic medicine curriculum,
with a major focus on cancer care, as well as tools for national implementation.– The TRIG Working Group will collaborate with the ASCP Continuing
Professional Development (CPD) team. – Both instructional guides and online education modules will be developed.
2) To evaluate the curriculum using a pre/post-test design at four pathology residency programs using validated assessment tools. – Assessment tools will be created to evaluate knowledge, communication skills
and attitudes related to genomics. – The residency directors at the four sites are Dr. Richard Haspel, Dr. Karen Kaul,
Dr. Debra Leonard and Dr. Henry Rinder. All are TRIG Working Group members and are key personnel on the grant.
R25: Specific Aims3) To promote curriculum implementation using the resources
of major national pathology organizations so that >90% of pathology residency programs nationwide have high-quality training in cancer genomics by the end of year 5. – Build on the current success of the TRIG Working Group in promoting
genomics education through major pathology organizations.
4) To assess the degree of nationwide implementation and efficacy of curricula in genomic medicine using the pathology resident in-service exam (RISE).– This aspect of the grant will build on the current success of the TRIG
Working Group in developing exam and survey questions for the RISE.10/2012: Awarded $1.3 million over 5 years
Lectures and instructional guide completed, made available
Year 2 Year 3Year 1
Online modules completed, deployed
Year 4 Year 5
Online modules tested at five residency programs
Assessment tool completed
Questions on RISE
Cancer genomics training in >90% of US pathology residency programs, assessed by RISE
Dissemination at conferences,Year 3: Begin “Train-the-Trainer” sessions
Funding: A new TRIG timeline
Training Residents in Genomics (TRIG) Working Group
TRIG Still On Track• New TRIG members
– ACMG Representative: Madhuri Hedge, PhD– Andrew Beck, MD– John Pfeifer, MD, PhD– Iris Schrijver, MD, PhD
• 2013 RISE: survey and knowledge questions submitted • Workshops/Courses at major meetings
– ASCP Annual Meeting (9/2013): Day-long resident workshop– CAP Annual Meeting (10/2013): Half-day course– USCAP Annual Meeting (2014): Submitted for resident workshop– ACLPS Annual Meeting (2014): Possible train-the-trainer session
• Curriculum:– Survey-based review completed (11)– Day-long meeting today– Designing exercises related to annotation and report generation
TRIG: Continuing to Evolve• Achieved several major goals
– Lectures– Dissemination
• Presentations• Abstracts• Articles
– RISE survey and knowledge questions
• The future: R25 funding – Resident workshops– Online modules– Design assessment tools– Evaluate curriculum Need your help to
spread the word!

Food for Thought
As with the practice of medicine, the best hope for understanding the quality of current educational techniques and for evaluating proposed new approaches is by conducting and disseminating research based on sound principles.
