The ABMGG Safety Module is comprised of an in-depth discussion of key, critical topics identified as impacting patient healthcare safety.  Each of the topics covered include current references and specific clinical case examples that are relevant to medical genetics and genomics.  The cases cover instructive yet challenging situations relevant to both clinical genetics and laboratory genetics and genomics.
