• Maintain a catalog of genomic medicine policies around the world.
• Analyze and develop the policy agenda to support G2MC Flagship Projects.

ACTIVITIES

The Policy Working Group has a program of activities that currently incorporates the development of:

• A web-based resource that provides information on genomic medicine implementation initiatives and related policy issues as well as links to relevant resources and organizations.
• A roadmap for implementation of genomic medicine – outlining policy issues for consideration.

Genomics Policy Website

The Genomics Policy Website provides information on policy approaches to facilitate the integration of genomics into healthcare. It includes a catalog of global genomic medicine implementation initiatives as well as links to relevant organizations, events, and media.
