Early Career Genetic Professionals Workshop - Building Leadership/Management Skills
Thursday, May 14, 2020
1:00 pm – 2:30 pm ET
www.acmgeducation.net
Genetics trainees must complete fellowship programs to acquire the specialized knowledge and sufficient hands-on experience to perform as accredited professionals. While the fellowships are rigorous in teaching genetics, other professional skill sets crucial for a successful career may receive less emphasis. This 90-minute session is aimed to provide trainees and early career faculty members with information and resources relevant to 1) business aspects of running a laboratory or clinical practice, and 2) personnel management. Three experienced leaders in genetics will provide insights from their early career development and share critical tips and resources.
During the first 45 minutes of the session, the speakers will each describe their experience on one of the following topics for 15 minutes each. The speakers are encouraged to give specific examples and provide “takeaway” lessons from their experience. Audience and moderator questions will then be discussed by the panel speakers.
Three areas speakers will address:
Target Audience
Graduate, genetic counseling and medical students and trainees.

If so, they were asked either to attest that a HIPAA-compliant consent form is on file at their institution, or to send ACMG a copy of the ACMG HIPAA compliance form. This information is on record at the ACMG Administrative Office and will be made available on request.

When an off-label use of a product, or an investigational use not yet approved for any purpose, is discussed during an educational activity, the accredited sponsor shall require the speaker to disclose that the product is not labeled for the use under discussion, or that the product is still investigational. Discussions of such uses shall focus on those uses that have been subject of objective investigation.
