mission

The mission of the MDCGC is to:

  • Advocate for the genetic counseling profession in Maryland and DC

  • Provide professional development and networking opportunities for genetics professionals

  • Encourage continuing education among genetic counselors

  • Support education efforts to increase public awareness of genetic counseling

  • Increase the public’s accessibility to accurate information on genetic services and genetic information

history

Prior to the establishment of the MDCGC in 2018, there was not a formal genetic counseling organization in either Washington D.C. or Maryland. The group was created to serve a network for genetic counselors in the area as well as to provide an organized means to tackle professional issues within the field.
