August 2, 2023 - The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) conducts the second of three Zoom-based “listening sessions” to help gather information from the national genetics and genomics community regarding the current and future state of the clinical geneticist workforce. These sessions help NHGRI understand the community’s views regarding key challenges and potential solutions in clinical genetics and genomics, as well as to determine possible next steps to further discuss this topic.
Co-Moderators:
Benjamin Solomon, M.D.
Clinical Director, NHGRI
Debra Regier, M.D.
Interim Chief, Children's National Rare Disease
The co-moderators will facilitate discussions regarding a set of questions related to the primary topic, but we encourage participants to provide open feedback on all topics that relate to important geneticist workforce issues.
