Join an interactive learning experience that connects theory with practice in genetics and genomics. The Laboratory Genetics and Genomics (LGG) Alternative Certification Pathway offers a workshop focused on enhancing your knowledge and skills in molecular and cytogenetics.
Guided by experienced mentors from the LGG Alternative Certification Pathway faculty, this workshop provides an opportunity to explore complex clinical cases.Together with fellow participants, you will delve into molecular and cytogenetics testing by applying advanced methodologies to practical scenarios.
Throughout the session, faculty members will lead discussions on a variety of clinical cases, examining genotype-phenotype associations, the challenges of different testing methodologies, and approaches to combining cytogenetic and molecular results. Topics will include defining testing guidelines for specific disorders and understanding the details of cytogenetic and molecular nomenclature, offering a comprehensive look at genetic evaluation and problem-solving.
By the end of this workshop, participants will have the knowledge and skills to:
This workshop is designed for Laboratory Genetics and Genomics training program fellows pursuing the ABMGG LGG Alternative Certification Pathway, but all interested learners are welcome. Whether your focus is Clinical Cytogenetics and Genomics or Clinical Molecular Genetics and Genomics, this session offers focused, practical knowledge that directly supports your professional goals and advancement.
Covering a well-structured agenda with carefully selected topics, the workshop features a dual-track format:
