Transition of ABMGG Laboratory Fellowships

The ACGME and the Review Committee for Medical Genetics and Genomics agreed in June 2018 to assume accreditation responsibilities from the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ABMGG) for laboratory fellowships in clinical biochemical genetics and laboratory genetics and genomics. These resources are provided as a guide for institutions and programs through the transition to ACGME accreditation. The Review Committee, along with representatives of the clinical biochemical genetics and laboratory genetics and genomics communities, have established Program Requirements, and the ACGME is now accepting applications for both specialties. Review guidelines regarding the transition here.
