CGC Competencies	NHGRI GenomeEd Competencies
C1: Genetic Testing Describe the types of genetic tests that are available and indications for their use: chromosome analysis, CMA, panels, WES, WGS	2A1, 2A6, 4A1 Use genomic testing appropriately to guide patient management
C2: Heritability and History Obtain an appropriate family history and interpret a pedigree.	1A1–1A6, 1B1–2, 1C1, 1F1–2 Elicit, document, and act on relevant family history pertinent to the patient’s clinical status
C3: Indications and Referrals Refer a family for cascade genetic testing. Identify indications to refer a patient for genetic counseling.	1G1, 2G1, 4G1, 2A7, 2A8, 3G2 Interprofessional collaboration, personal and professional development Make appropriate referrals based on genomic screening and testing results
C4: Test InterpretationCorrectly interpret genetic test reports: Describe classifications of genetic variants Find and interpret information about the clinical significance of genetic variants. Use genetic data to inform clinical decisionmaking about the choice or timing of therapies.	1. 2B1–3,4C1 a. Practice-based learning and improvement 2. 2B5,3A1–3, 3C2 a. Use genomic information to make treatment decisions 3. 2C1, 2C2, 3B3–5, 3D1, 4B3 a. Incorporate genomic results into patient health record and care plan, discuss results-based therapeutic approaches with patient
