Misión

The Spanish Development SIG supports and fosters activities and member interactions to address Spanish language needs. The SIG aims to enhance Spanish language knowledge, proficiency, and comprehension. Additionally, learning will be centered on cultural contexts to improve engagement with Spanish-speaking communities. Language and cultural development will be provided across genetic counseling sub-specialties, practice settings, years of experience, and language skill level.

The SIG will also provide a member resource group for those who identify with or have a Spanish speaking identity or background to network, foster relationships, and encourage a community of learning.
