New Members

The Maryland and DC Society of Genetic Counselors accepts registration throughout the calendar year. Annual membership fees are due on January 1st of each year. Please remember to create an account by selecting "Sign In" at the top of this page before purchasing a membership.

Who can join?

The primary purpose of MDCGC is to provide a network for genetic counselors in Maryland and DC. Additionally, genetic counseling students in the region are encouraged to join as are genetics professionals (i.e. geneticists, residents/fellows, genetic counseling assistants).

How much does it cost?

Full membership, intended for genetic counselors, costs $25 annually. Genetics professionals may purchase associate membership for $15 annually. Student membership is free of charge (use code ‘student’).

Of note, when a member signs up after Nov 30th, dues for the current year (at a pro-rated discount of 50%) will be added to the payment for the next year’s dues in full.

What are the benefits?

All MDCGC members receive regular newsletters and are encouraged to attend business meetings and the annual symposium. Benefits for full members include involvement on committees and task forces, participation in salary surveys, and access to specialty specific email lists.

Members will also receive quarterly email newsletters with committee updates, upcoming events, and more! The first edition of the newsletter is available for public download below. Future versions will be accessible to members only.
