Complaint Policy
Certification is not a guarantee of continuing competence, ethical behavior or successful outcomes for individual patients. Nevertheless, ABGC may from time to time receive a complaint about a certified genetic counselor (CGC) or an applicant seeking certification that warrants review under ABGC’s Disciplinary Policy.
