BCCGN holds a conference every spring to facilitate education and research in the area of clinical genomics

BCCGN’s third annual conference, GENOMICS IN MEDICINE 2015 was held on Wednesday April 27th, 2011 at the Vancouver Convention Center. Attending physicians recieved 6 CME credits. It attracted 210 delegates including family physicians and specialists (23%), many of whom (18%) travelled from outside the lower mainland. Also attending were health professionals, researchers and students. Feedback from delegates was very positive for the overall conference program.

Here's some quotes from physicians who attended:-

“I am better prepared for discussion with patients about what genomics can and cannot do for them right now.”

“I learned about the “Fast pace of genomic technology and our lack of preparedness to deal with it.”
