Welcome to the Michigan Association of Genetic Counselors, Inc.
Licensure Update
As many of you know, we have made a number of positive steps in the legislative process in the last two months. On April 20, several MAGC members participated in our Lobby Day in Lansing and met with the majority of House and Senate Health Policy committee members and/or their staffs. We received overwhelmingly favorable responses to our requests for support. Thanks to all who made time in their busy schedule to come to Lansing that day – it was a huge success. We truly enjoyed meeting with our elected officials to educate them about what genetic counselors do and why licensure is important.
As a result of our Lobby Day, the House Health Policy committee agreed to bring our bill forward and a hearing was held on May 18, 2010.
