Happy Third Annual Medical Genetics Awareness Week!
The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomic (ACMG) created this week to promote the understanding and importance of the entire medical genetics team! So, let's celebrate!
SPAGG will be posting about a genetics PA daily in all of our social media outlets to celebrate (SPAGG website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn). If you do not follow SPAGG on our social media outlets, feel free to do so!
All medical genetics providers are encouraged to use their appropriate hashtags on social media outlets:
- #MedicalGeneticsAwareness
- #IamaGeneticsPA
And please use some PA hashtags too :)
- #SPAGG
- #yourPAcan
