Each session is developed in collaboration with ACMG committees, reflecting their ongoing efforts to shape the future of clinical genetics through education, policy, and innovation.

2026 Webinar Series:

By attending this series, healthcare professionals will enhance their ability to interpret and apply genetic and genomic data in clinical practice, navigate ethical considerations, and leverage funding opportunities to support patient-centered research and care. This initiative underscores ACMG’s commitment to advancing genetics and genomics education while fostering collaboration across its diverse committee network.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for clinical geneticists, genetic counselors, laboratory professionals, and other healthcare providers involved in the diagnosis and management of genetic conditions. The content is also relevant to researchers and healthcare professionals seeking to stay up to date on emerging advancements and best practices in genetic conditions.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this series, participants should be able to:

• Apply the latest advancements in clinical genetics and genomics to improve patient care, including innovations in gene therapy, diagnostic transcriptome RNA sequencing, and variant classification.
• Evaluate funding opportunities from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and identify strategies for supporting historically underserved patient populations through research initiatives.
• Interpret complex genetic findings and assess their clinical utility, limitations, and implications for patient management.
• Analyze ethical principles and challenges in genetic and genomic medicine, ensuring responsible and equitable application of genetic testing and counseling.
• Engage with ACMG committees to gain insights into emerging research, best practices, and collaborative efforts that shape the future of medical genetics and genomics.
