- Abstract
Microlearning uses short educational interventions to provide learners with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform specific tasks or solve immediate problems. This approach is increasingly used across digital platforms to engage learners and foster quick comprehension. Microlearning can be used in clinical genetics education to deliver a comprehensive educational intervention that is segmented into smaller discrete but complimentary components. This report discusses one group's approach to using microlearning in clinician education and provides tips that can be applied to other educational efforts. High‐quality genetics education has the potential to be disseminated across multiple delivery methods and to multiple audiences, thereby increasing its impact and reach.
