The CME mission statement is reproduced below. It is reviewed annual by the Education/CME Committee and the Board of Directors, and in 2004 was reaffirmed without change.

Sponsor the ACMG Genetics Review Course and other workshops, courses and individual activities as are deemed necessary and/or of interest to its members.
Review evaluation results from each ACMG-sponsored program.
Conduct assessments to determine the CME needs of its members.
