WHAT IS A MEDICAL GENETICIST'S LIFE LIKE IN THE GENOMIC ERA?


Careers in Medical Genetics is a fascinating new video series from the ACMG. Each video features personal stories about life as a practicing clinical geneticist. If you like the uniqueness of specialty medical knowledge but also wish to apply your knowledge across broad areas of medical practice while contributing to unprecedented scientific advances, genetics could be the right choice for you.

ACMG COMPETENCIES FOR THE
PHYSICIAN MEDICAL GENETICIST
IN THE 21st CENTURY

 


 

In an effort to better define the education and training needs for medical geneticists in our rapidly evolving specialty, a multidisciplinary medical genetics workgroup led by Dr. Bruce Korf was formed to begin to identify the competencies that should be acquired by clinical geneticists who provide consultative or long-term medical genetic and genomic healthcare services. We invite review, comments and suggestions from ACMG members as this is expected to be an evolving document. We are already planning to develop a similar set of competencies for laboratory geneticists. An editorial describing the intent, development, and uses of these competencies is planned for publication in Genetics in Medicine later this year. Click here to see the report.
