Compare and assess the value of WGS to standard testing practices
Discuss online resources to identify treatment options for rare genetic disorders that can present in the neonatal period
Summarize key evidence supporting use of first tier WGS in critically ill neonate patients
Recognize how early diagnosis by WGS can enable a change in clinical management, including, shortened time to diagnosis, effective treatment options, avoidance of unnecessary testing, referral to specialists, opportunities for experimental treatment and/or decisions regarding palliative care
Review practical considerations for implementing WGS into a NICU setting with an emphasis on the consent and result disclosure processes
