Community engagement continues to be a critical component in genomic medicine and precision health research where the overall goal is to improve health outcomes of communities.  The translation of findings into practice and implementation depends heavily on stakeholder engagement throughout the research process. In this seminar session, we will explore insights gained from various engagement strategies and how appropriate incorporation of community stakeholders’ insights can improve the relevance and usefulness of genomic medicine and precision health research.  Speakers and panelists will share their perspectives on community engagement, discuss strategies to address the gaps that remain and how to address the challenge of hesitancy among some communities.
