Vision

ACMG will empower its members to be leaders in the integration of genetics and genomics into all of medicine and healthcare, resulting in improved personal and public health.

Mission

To reinforce and expand ACMG’s position as the leader and prominent authority in the field of medical genetics and genomics, including clinical research, while educating the medical community on the significant role that genetics and genomics will continue to play in understanding, preventing, treating and curing disease.

Strategic Plan

Approved in July 2024, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) 2025-2029 strategic plan sets the course and priorities for the next five years for ACMG. This high-reaching strategic plan began with an extensive planning process including in-depth interviews with Board members and staff, surveys with members, non-members, and constituents. The pillars and goals of the plan are the outcome of this deliberative process and serves as a blueprint toward advancing the field at a time when medical genetics is becoming a significant part of every aspect of medicine.

The ACMG plan includes four overarching strategic pillars:

Pillar 1: Establish ACMG as the primary genetics and genomics educational and informational resource.

Pillar 2: Define and promote ACMG's role as a leader in the genetics and genomics specialty.

Pillar 3: Advocate for policies and initiatives that advance the interests of medical genetics and genomics.

Pillar 4: Expand the workforce in genetics and genomics.
