In September of 1991, the Executive Committee and the Assembly of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) approved ABMGG’s application for acceptance as a new board of the ABMS. Initially, certification was offered for MDs and PhDs in the areas of Clinical Genetics, PhD Medical Genetics, Clinical Biochemical Genetics, and Clinical Cytogenetics. ABMGG certification was also briefly offered to genetic counselors before they established their own separate board for their specialty. Clinical Molecular Genetics was added as a specialty in 1993 and Medical Biochemical Genetics as a subspecialty in 2007. In 2015, “Genomics” was added to our Clinical, Molecular and Cytogenetics specialty titles. Lastly, in 2017, Laboratory Genetics and Genomics was introduced, combining our Molecular and Cytogenetics and Genomics specialties. We are honored and thankful for the last 35 years working together with ABMS to further our mission to serve the public and the medical genetics and genomics profession.Learn more on the history of ABMGG on our website: www.abmgg.org/about-abmgg/history/ …
