However, there has not yet been any formal evaluation of the merging of these disciplines and the challenges faced by Program Directors (PDs) tasked with ensuring the successful training of laboratory geneticists under the new model.<h4>Methods</h4>An electronic multi-question Qualtrics survey was created and was sent to the PD for each of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited LGG fellowship programs at the time. The data were collected, and the responses were aggregated for each question.<h4>Results</h4>All of the responding PGenetics in medicine openThe challenges and opportunities of offering and integrating training in clinical molecular genetics and clinical cytogenetics: A survey of LGG Fellowship Program Directors.PMC11340206ZIA EY000564Z99 EY999999Aggarwal VFunke BSpiteri EWilliams ESRepnikova EASmolarek TAVance GHNaeem RCMason-Suares HShao LMao RVan Ziffle JLiu PShaw BMCrooks KRDel Gaudio DDeignan JLKoduru PVnencak-Jones CLBooker JKDeak KLShetty SBellissimo DBHufnagel RBHorner VBale AEHoppman NLMikhail FMMoore SRLi SPollard LMJackson-Cook CLuo MCao YLeung MLfalseThe challenges and opportunities of offering and integrating training in clinical molecular genetics and clinical cytogenetics: A survey of LGG Fellowship Program Directors.<h4>Purpose</h4>The specialty of Laboratory Genetics and Genomics (LGG) was created in 2017 in an effort to reflect the increasing convergence in technologies and approaches between clinical molecular genetics and clinical cytogenetics.
