Olivia's Light Pediatric Rare Disease Conference

The Olivia's Light Pediatric Rare Disease Conference aims to improve patient care for children and families impacted by a rare disease. The conference will highlight different aspects of the rare disease journey, with an emphasis on rapid broad genetic testing, particularly whole exome and whole genome sequencing. The conference will also highlight other components of patient care, including, early recognition of genetic conditions, a novel pathway to access broad genetic testing, ethical considerations and communication strategies in consultation, facilitating shared decision-making, community outreach and education, as well as, a look into the gaps and needs of patients and families.
