Improving Access to Genetic Services for Underserved Populations
WSRGN 1
Activities
NCC developed tools and resources to help improve access to genetic services for underserved populations.
Our efforts included the development of educational materials related to the genetic service delivery system and genetics policy; assessed the genetics workforce; raised awareness about the field of public health genetics; and supported the seven Regional Genetics Networks. This work concluded in 2024.
