CGC Webinar Support
The CGC Webinar Series focuses on topics of high interest for CGC members, including implementation of new technologies in clinical genetic/genomic testing, standards and resources for interpretation of variants, germline predisposition to cancer, and novel approaches for detection of variants in constitutional and cancer samples.
The goal of the CGC is to provide complimentary webinars with P.A.C.E. credit to attendees and to promote the webinar series to reach a wider audience. The CGC is seeking support for its monthly series to add educational resources to inform professionals’ practices in a variety of ways, including introduction of new technology, diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, and standard protocols for genomic analysis.
