In May 2006, the first ever international meeting of genetic counselor educators was held in Manchester, England with representatives from eighteen countries, including forty-five genetic counseling programs and fifteen professional organizations. Focused workshops expanded our global perspective of genetic counseling. Participants eager to tap the potential for future collaboration, created the Transnational Alliance for Genetic Counseling.

TAGC strives to foster communication and collaboration among the international genetic counseling community and  enhance genetic counseling education transnationally.
