Since 2015, NCC has conducted a genetics workforce assessment every four years to understand the capacity of the workforce better. We are pleased to announce that our 2023 Genetics Workforce Survey has now closed. Thank you to everyone who completed the survey. We plan to publish the first data set from the 2023 Survey by the end of this year, so be on the lookout for upcoming publications!

In the meantime, explore data published in Genetics in Medicine from our  2015 and 2019 surveys below!

2015 Workforce Assessment

In response to a request from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the funder of NCC, and legislation from Congress seeking to assess the genetics workforce, NCC distributed a survey in 2019 to geneticists to understand the workload of the geneticist workforce. 

Results collected from the laboratory geneticists who responded to the survey were published in The 2019  medical genetics workforce: a focus on laboratory geneticist by Maiese et. al in Genetics in Medicine.

In response to a request from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the funder of NCC, NCC distributed a survey in 2015 to all genetics providers (geneticists, genetic counselors, metabolic dietitians, genetic nurses, and other genetics providers) to understand what the barriers to access were from the perspective of providers. Results from this survey were published in Current conditions in medical genetics practice by Maiese et. al in Genetics in Medicine.
