This summary presented key findings of a survey of medical geneticists that was one component of a three-year national research project, Assessing Genetic Services and the Health Workforce. The goals of the overall project were to do the following: (1) describe current models of providing clinical genetics services; (2) describe the roles of health professionals delivering services; (3) identify measures to monitor changes in demand for services; and (4) establish a framework and baseline description for ongoing and longitudinal studies of genetic services.
