    Abstract:
    As the field of genetics continues to grow at a rapid rate, so does the application to patient care delivered by allied health professionals. At the same time, it has been shown that allied health professionals often lack confidence in their knowledge of genetics as a result of limited education about genetics. The current study was an interdisciplinary effort devised to explore Internet resources for learning about human genetics as they apply to the allied health professions. A rating scale was developed to assess the format and the content of the websites and to assess other websites that may be identified in the future. Four of the seven websites that received the highest mean ratings are discussed in more detail. Two of the websites address basic concepts in genetics, and the other two provide resources for current topics and research in genetics as it pertains to patient care.
