    • Biography

    Dr. Scheuner is an internist and medical geneticist. She is a Clinical Professor in the UCSF Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology-Oncology and in the UCSF Department of Pediatrics, Division of Medical Genetics. She is the Chief of Genomic Medicine with the Veterans Integrated Service Network 21, Clinical Resource Hub.

    Dr. Scheuner is a health services resercher and implementation scientist. Her research activities focus on the integration of genetic services and genetic testing into clinical practice. Areas of focus include: genomic medicine care coordination and equity, delivery models for clinical genetic services, outcomes of precision medicine and their value, clinical validity and utility of family history tools in risk assessment and disease prevention, and genetic testing technologies and communication.

    Dr. Scheuner is a founding fellow of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). From 2013-2019 she served on the ACMG Board of Directors and was Vice President for Clinical Genetics. Since 2003, she has served as the ACMG representative to the national Blue Cross Blue Shield Association's Medical Advisory Panel. Since 2014 she has served as Editor for the journal Genetics in Medicine.

    • Mentoring Overview

    Dr. Scheuner-Purcell is an internist and clinical geneticist with research interests in health services and implementation research, addressing family health history, screening for Lynch syndrome (the most common cause of hereditary colon cancer), and strategies for improving communication of genetic test results between the laboratory and ordering clinician. As former Chief of Medical Genetics at the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System, Dr Scheuner-Purcell has mentored many genetic fellows and residents.

    Trainees can participate in projects examining care coordination to facilitate precision medicine services in the Veterans Health Administration, as well as recruitment of veteran's for the WISDOM study.
