Upcoming Advocates Partnership Program Opportunities

We are now accepting applications for the Advocates Partnership Program at the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting March 24-28 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The Advocates Partnership Program aims to foster new connections among members of the genetics community. Highlights for participants include engaging in thought-provoking discussions about clinical genetics and informatics, and attending exclusive daily briefings with ACMG staff and professionals working in your area of interest.
We welcome applications from individuals interested in the field of clinical genetics, but unfortunately individuals who hold ACMG membership or those who could be a potential candidate for membership are not eligible to apply for the Advocates Partnership Program. Priority will be given to individuals who previously have not participated in the Advocates Partnership Program.
Acceptance into the Advocates Partnership Program also includes:
- waived full registration to the ACMG Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting
- reimbursement for up to $250 for transportation, hotel accommodations, or airfare.
Deadline for applications: Friday, February 5, 2010.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, please apply early!
