ObjectivesAssess genomic-related activities of ISONG members in research, education and practice, and competencies to serve as global leaders in genomics. DesignCross-sectional survey (21-items) assessing genomic-related training, knowledge, and practice. SettingsAn email invitation included a link to the anonymous online survey. ParticipantsAll ISONG members (n = 350 globally) were invited to partake. MethodsDescriptive statistics and Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test for between-group comparisons. ResultsRespondents (n = 231, 66%), were mostly Caucasian, female, with a master's degree or higher. Approximately 70% wanted to incorporate genomics in research, teaching, and practice. More than half reported high genomic competency, and over 95% reported that genomics is relevant the next 5 years. ConclusionsFindings provide a foundation for developing additional educational programs for an international nursing workforce in genomics.
