ASHG 2024 offers attendees the opportunity to apply for continuing education credits through the following:

• CME Credits (AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™) – additional fee.
• NSGC CEU Credits for Genetic Counselors – additional fee.
• P.A.C.E.® Contact Hours for California-Licensed Clinical and Molecular Laboratory Directors – no fee.

Not all sessions are eligible for CME or CEU credits due to the strict guidelines ASHG must adhere to set by our accrediting bodies. We strive to offer as many credits as possible. View our continuing education webpage (coming soon) to see which sessions are eligible for CME/CEU credits, read more about the guidelines, and apply for credits.

Instructions to claim credits will be available in October and will be sent to all registrants who paid for credits during the registration process.

If you wish to apply for credits after you have registered, simply visit our registration resource center (available in June) where you will be able to edit your registration and add on these items.

ASHG strives to make its Annual Meetings as affordable as possible, so various registration rates are offered to ease the financial burden. We recommend registering before the early deadline on August 21 at 5pm ET to take advantage of the lowest rates. Becoming a member of ASHG will save you even more! The regular member registration rate saves you up to $400 – that’s more than the cost of membership itself!

Other ways to reduce costs for attendance include:

• Booking your flight and making your hotel reservations early to take advantage of lower rates.
• Consider reaching out to colleagues attending so you can consider sharing a room.

You may unsubscribe at any time from unwanted emails.
