Abstract
Methods Patients at a collaborative site were offered a risk assessment survey that was reviewed remotely by a licensed, boardcertified GC. Patients were triaged such that the onsite registered nurse (RN) provided basic risk assessment and offered genetic testing for straight-forward hereditary breast and ovarian cases. Ongoing training and support was provided by the GC. Followup and complex cases were scheduled with the GC during a monthly outreach visit to the collaborative site.
