The Genomics Forum will engage the public health community to promote workforce competency in genomics, including an improved understanding of the relevance and impact of genomics on public health. We will engage public health and health care communities and others in projects and activities that increase the awareness, knowledge, and skills of genetic services as these services relate to: 

1. The ethical, legal, and social issues surrounding genetics/ genomics/ epigenetics; 

2. The relationships and relevance of genomics to public health, health care, and health disparities; 

3. Professional and public education; and 

4. Other areas as generated by Forum members
