  Bruce Korf (University of Alabama, Birmingham) drummed home the medical education crisis.Fewer than 40 percent of medical schools run a genetics course, he said, and according to a recent survey, only one-third of physicians polled feel trained or competent to discuss genetic information.Medical informatics is a disruptive technology akin to a Tower of Babel."Why can't [Google] crawl through medical records?"Korf posed."Is Wal-Mart - Google the future of medicine?"

  That program will become increasingly valuable to physicians, said Dr. Bruce Korf, physician and chair of UAB's department of genetics.Although genetic counseling has been widely used in prenatal care and pediatrics, genetic counselors will soon be in demand for all specialties.Tests will determine an adult's susceptibility to cancer, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, diabetes or other illnesses.Internal medicine and family practitioners will be on the front lines as direct-to-consumer tests/advertising hits and the cost of genetic testing lowers to the cost of an MRI.
  
  It may not be too long, Korf said, that a person's entire genome might be sequenced for $1,000.Both physicians and patients will need help in determining what information is needed, when it is needed and how it will be used.
  
  "We're in the beginning of an explosion in the utilization of genetic counseling," said Korf.
  ...
  Test interpretation can also be highly specialized, said Korf.
