Celebrate Medical Genetics Awareness Week on social media by telling us, with a post or short video, your answer to one or both of these questions:
(1) How do you make a difference to patients, public health, or the field of medical genetics through your work?
(2) What do patients, colleagues and/or the general public NOT know about your medical genetics role?
