•As evidenced by the webinars presented by the American Academy of Pediatrics, genetics and genomics are continuing to have a more prominent role in health care today. Of particular interest is the role of genetics in primary care.Its interesting that 100% of pediatric primary care providers felt that taking a family health history is important but only 32% obtained the recommended three-generation family history (American Academy of Pediatrics [AAP], 2016a). To me, this demonstrates a need for education on what a health history should include and what sort of DNA testing should accompany certain findings. Obtaining an accurate and thorough family health history is a crucial component of genetic medicine. The family health history helps providers identify hereditary disorders, determine inheritance patterns, determine recurrence risks, identify at-risk individuals and identify individuals who are not at risk (AAP, 2016b). As a nurse practitioner student, I will have the opportunity to accompany my preceptor in obtaining an accurate health history. It will be important for me to understand the critical components of the health history and when to relay this information to my preceptor. A thorough family health history can improve, prevent or delay many adverse outcomes for patients (AAP, 2016b). For example, according to a 2007 census birth defects alone accounted for 21% of all infant deaths in the United States (Newborn screening and the era of
