NEW: 2025 MDCGC Enrichment Award
This year, we would also like to invite your proposal for any projects that promote the genetic counseling profession and/or well-being of genetic counselors in the Maryland and DC area. This could include, but is not limited to, educational programs, networking/team-building events, or career development opportunities, but should be something that benefits more than just the individual who is applying. Please note that this does not include reimbursement for conference fees, certification or licensure fees, dues, etc.
Please access the application for the Enrichment Award here.
