The seventh annual Medical Genetics Awareness Week will be celebrated March 18-21, 2025. The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics’ (ACMG) celebration of this impactful healthcare specialty will unite the entire medical genetics community to raise awareness of the invaluable contributions that the professionals who comprise the field make to the diagnosis, management, prevention and treatment of genetic conditions.
This year our Medical Genetics Awareness Week theme is full of joy and fun…literally. We will celebrate what brings us joy about working in the medical genetics field and what we appreciate about patients and their families, as well as our colleagues. We will even celebrate where we find “the fun” as we do the serious work of medical genetics. And this year, we will be going beyond “awareness” and elevating to “appreciation” in our logo and graphics!

Medical Genetics Awareness Week is celebrated to recognize the difference these professionals make in the lives of patients and families. The week is also intended to educate other healthcare professionals and students and trainees about who medical geneticists are, how they are trained and what they do in the clinic and laboratory.
