The EBMG – branch of ErCLGs – offers since 10 years the possibility to register as Clinical Laboratory Geneticists as

• European registered Clinical Laboratory Geneticists (general)
• European registered Clinical Laboratory Geneticists (focus on Clinical Genetics)
• European registered Clinical Laboratory Geneticists (focus on Molecular Genetics)
• European registered Clinical Laboratory Geneticists (focus on Biochemical Genetics)
• European registered Clinical Laboratory Geneticists (focus on Tumorgenetics)

To find out if there is a need for opening a possibility for registration as European registered Clinical Laboratory Geneticists (focus on Bioinformatics) we start this survey!

In case, you are interested in registration as European registered Clinical Laboratory Geneticists (focus on Bioinformatics) under the conditions mentioned below, send a mail to Thomas.Liehr@med.uni‐jena.de until 31.03.2025 just stating that you would like to use that way to show your competence.

Details on what we offer are provided on https://www.ebmg.eu/587.0.html. Before you ask any questions to Thomas Liehr make sure you have read and understood that page.
