BACKGROUND
The European Certificate in Medical Genetics and Genomics (ECMGG), formerly a Diploma in 2019 (EDMGG), is a joint development of the UEMS Section of Medical Genetics (UEMS-SMG), the European Board for Medical Genetics-Branch of Medical Geneticists (EBMG-BMG), and the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG). It is intended to be the main knowledge-based assessment tool for Clinical/Medical Genetics and Genomics training in Europe, with the aim of establishing standards in the specialty to world class levels throughout all European countries.
The examination is overseen and supervised by the Examination Committee for the ECMGG of the UEMS-SMG.
The ECMGG examination is accredited by UEMS-Council of European Specialist Medical Assessment (
UEMS-CESMA).
No post-nominals accompany the ECMGG. The certification is valid for life.
