American Society of Human Genetics information


The American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG), founded in 1948, is a professional membership organization for specialists in human genetics. As of 2009, the organization had approximately 8,000 members. The society's members include researchers, academicians, clinicians, laboratory practice professionals, genetic counselors, nurses, and others who have a special interest in the field of human genetics.[1]

As the field of human genetics has expanded, ASHG has founded additional organizations within its membership body, including the following:[1]

  • National Society of Genetic Counselors, founded in 1979, as an advocacy group for the nascent field of genetic counseling.
  • American Board of Medical Genetics, founded in 1981, to certify practitioners in human genetics.
  • American Board of Genetic Counseling, founded in 1991, to certify genetic counselors.
  • American College of Medical Genetics, founded in 1991, as a specialty board for medical geneticists at the doctoral level. It achieved full membership in the Council of Medical Specialty Societies in 1993.
