    Webinar on new genetic testing guidelines

    By the Les Turner learning series. It is under the education tab at Lesturner dot org. I have heard the presenter before and she has been an author on papers for this topic. Genetic testing is becoming more widespread these days but I don’t think it is offered by all clinicians
