Present, Exhibit, or Attend Local, National, and Regional Medical Conferences Copy
Local,
national, and regional medical conferences are also wonderful ways to
reach clinicians in your area. Pay attention to conferences being held
in your area for genetic counselors, maternal fetal medicine
specialists, obstetricians
(including regional ACOG conferences), hospital social workers, etc.
You can apply to present as a speaker, attend the meeting to learn, or
host an exhibit booth.
Example: Several years ago, Kim Baich, the Medical Outreach Director from DSACO, and Stephanie Meredith, the Lettercase
Medical Outreach Director, exhibited together when the National Society
of Genetic Counselors held their annual education meeting in Columbus,
OH. This was a wonderful opportunity to share resources and meet genetic
counselors from the region and across the US.
