Table 6 Precision medicine education story – a nurse perspective

I work as a Staff Nurse in the cardiac rehabilitation unit at the Heart Hospital, HMC. I completed my undergraduate study in nursing at the University of Calgary in Qatar, and recently completed my MSc degree in Genomics and Precision Medicine at HBKU.

My goal at the cardiac rehabilitation is to promote and educate patients about heart disease risk factors and about healthy life style. This program helped me to build my knowledge, and gave me the tools I needed to be more confident at performing my job at HMC. By incorporating what I learned at HBKU in patients’ care plans, we can provide tailored, personalized care for each patient.

My plans involve doing more research related to heart disease using precision medicine.
