Welcome to Natera Academy

Welcome to Natera Academy, your comprehensive starting point to explore the world of genetic testing, precision medicine, and patient-centered education. This learning path is designed to help healthcare providers, clinic staff, and partners get oriented with Natera’s solutions, understand the background science, and learn how to effectively order, interpret, and discuss genetic tests with patients. The path begins with a foundational introduction to genetics, covering why cell-free DNA matters, how genetic variations can influence care, and how these insights guide prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. From there, you’ll explore product-specific swimlanes—including oncology (Signatera, Altera, Empower), organ health (Prospera, Renasight), and women’s health (Panorama, Horizon, Vistara)—to gain a full understanding of when to order each test, what clinical questions they answer, and what results mean in real-world settings. You’ll also learn to decipher results, distinguish between incidental findings and those requiring immediate action, and communicate clearly with patients. Throughout the curriculum, you’ll get exposure to videos, microlearning content, AI chatbot support, and interactive exercises designed to engage your team. We’ll cover practical steps for embedding training into your workflow, such as linking sales and clinical teams to education, building email campaigns that drive participation, and integrating website links to bring providers directly into training. This is a truly comprehensive curriculum that builds knowledge step by step, engages learners with existing and new resources, and equips participants with the confidence to make genetics-driven decisions. By the end, you will have a strong foundation, know where to find product-specific resources, and be able to confidently navigate Natera’s platforms to order tests, interpret results, and guide your patients through the next steps of care.
