CSHL Book on Integrating Genetics, Medicine

In 1995 and 1996, leaders in genetics and primary healthcare met at Cold Spring Harbor, New York, to consider how genetic advances could benefit public health and to discuss the integration of genetic knowledge and technologies into mainstream medicine. The book Toward the 21st Century: Incorporating Genetics into Primary Health Care summarizes the meetings and lays out such key concerns as adequate training of healthcare providers; ensuring access to appropriate care; and patient autonomy including ethical, social, and cultural considerations. Paper, 100 pp., 1997. [Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press; 10 Skyline Dr.; Plainview, NY 11803-2500 (800/843-4388 or 516/349-1930, Fax: -1946, cshpress@cshl.org, http://www.cshl.org)]
