ACMG is led by a team of renowned medical genetics experts who comprise the ACMG Board of Directors. Hundreds of hard-working volunteers from all aspects of the medical genetics and genomics team including genetic counselors, clinical laboratory professionals and medical geneticist make up our volunteer committees. Our staff based in Bethesda, MD carries out the important daily work of the College to achieve the goals outlined in our Strategic Plan.
All ACMG/ACMGF committee, task force, and board members must complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement (the ACMG Participation Agreement) annually for each instance of committee/board/task force/ participation.

“I’m certainly very excited about this opportunity to serve the College as its president. It’s the College’s role to try to get people to feel passionate about the issues that affect all of us, and then to channel that passion into efforts that can benefit individuals and the College as a whole. "

During his previous two years as president elect, Dr. Williams served on several committees of the ACMG Board of Directors and ACMG Foundation Board. Dr. Williams has been actively involved with ACMG for more than 20 years. During one of his early volunteer positions with the College, as chair of the Economics of Genetic Services Committee from 2000 to 2006, he helped publish the first genetic services reimbursement manual, still in use today, that became a transformative resource not only for College members but for outside groups, as well. He also served on the ACMG Board of Directors from 2007 to 2013 and as Vice President for Clinical Genetics from 2009 to 2013, and he organized and then chaired the Special Interest Group on Quality Improvement in Clinical Genetics.

Dr. Williams is a member of numerous national professional societies, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Society of Human Genetics, the American Medical Informatics Association, and the American College of Medical Informatics (ACMI). He is one of only three individuals who have dual board certification in clinical genetics and clinical informatics, and he is the only board-certified clinical geneticist who has also been elected as a fellow of ACMI—a mark of his contribution to informatics research. Of note, in 2013 he was recognized by Bio-IT World with the Best Practice Award in Genomics Grand Prize for co-leading a project that tested a “Genome-Phenome Analyzer” as a point-of-care tool to help clinicians improve diagnosis.

Currently, Dr. Williams volunteers with the American Medical Informatics Association Genomics and Translational Bioinformatics Working Group, the Institute of Medicine Electronic Health Record Action Collaborative, the National Human Genome Research Institute Genomic Medicine Working Group Planning Committee, and the NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Program External Scientific Panel. He is also a professor at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine and an adjunct professor of biomedical informatics at Ohio State University and the University of Utah.

In 2003 the ABMS (American Board of Medical Specialties) began to develop an expanded four part Maintenance of Certification plan that each member Board would be required to have in place by 2009. This four part MOC plan is uniform across Boards in concept, but can vary somewhat in the specifics. The long term plan for the Continuing Certification Program (CCP formerly MOC) committee is to provide ongoing guidance to the ABMGG and the ACMG in their efforts to develop the practical application of these plans. The vision for this joint committee is to use the experience and perspective of each committee member on questions of timing, scope of activities, as well as to guide the development practice improvement modules.

This special interest group provides a discussion forum for physicians in a leadership position for a clinical genetics service to discuss topics related to clinical service. Medical directors face challenges when setting expectations for clinical productivity, or when asking for additional resources. This SIG offers an avenue for leaders of clinical programs to share experiences, best practices and discuss topics such as faculty productivity expectations and workflow.
