[edit] Profession of Genetics & Credentials

Certification of Genetic Specialists

The American Board of Genetic Counseling (ABGC) serves as the official credentialing organization for the genetic counseling profession in the United States and Canada. The American Board of Medical Genetics (ABMG) certifies clinical geneticists (M.D.) and laboratory specialists (M.D. or Ph.D.).

ABGC and ABMG both establish the standards of competence for clinical practice through accreditation of graduate programs in genetic counseling and medical genetics, and advance the role of genetic counselors and geneticists in healthcare through the certification and recertification of qualified professionals. The letters, CGC after their name indicates that they are a ABGC Certified Genetic Counselor. You can locate a certified ABGC genetic counselor / ABMG certified physician through:
