A: As of August 31, 2018: • If your program is in good standing with the ABMGG, it will not need a site visit • If your program is on probation with the ABMGG, or is not accredited by the ABMGG, it will need a site visit © 2018 ACGME Frequently Asked Questions Q: Does it matter if there are both CBG and LGG programs at my institution versus just one? A: No, programs can apply for accreditation in CBG, LGG, or both. As they are two separate programs, they will require two separate applications. © 2018 ACGME Frequently Asked Questions Q: How are the leadership and oversight structure different? A: CBG and LGG are two distinct disciplines, so they will require a designated program director for each. This is different than the ABMGG model where one program director has oversight over both programs. © 2018 ACGME Frequently Asked Questions Q: How were the program requirements developed? A: The existing ABMGG requirements were converted to the ACGME format, and then refined By task forces specific to each specialty, which included experts in the fields of CBG and LGG. © 2018 ACGME Frequently Asked Questions Q: What if I’m an LGG PD and am only certified in clinical cytogenetics and genomics or molecular genetics and genomics? A: If an LGG program director is only certified in CGG or MGG, the program will need an assistant/associate program director certified in the complementary specialty, or certified in LGG. © 2018 ACGME ACGME Fees Major concern raised at Program Directors’ SIG ABMGG Fees $3000/$4000 ABMGG: letter to ACGME President/CEO requesting consideration during transition; APHMG sent supporting letter 6/26: ACGME agreed to • 50% reduction in application fee per program • 50% reduction in annual fee for first year per program © 2018 ACGME Back to top American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics Accredited Clinical Laboratory Training Programs (By State) Total Programs: 43 Clinical Biochemical Genetics: 22 Laboratory Genetics and Genomics: 42 Fellowships Offered Laboratory Clinical State Institution Genetics Contact Information Biochemical and Genetics Genomics Department of Genetics Kaul 230, 720 20th Street South Birmingham, AL 35294 Alabama University of Alabama at Birmingham Y Y (3 year) Program Director: Dr. Jon Sharer Contact: Demetria Blakely-Stoudermire Tel: (205) 934-9411 Stanford Medical Genetics Training Program 300 Pasteur Dr. H-315 Stanford, CA 94305-5208 Stanford University School of Medicine Y Y Program Director: Dr. Tina Cowan Contact: Stephanie Martinez Tel: (650) 498-4937 California UCLA Intercampus Medical Genetics Training Program Pathology and Laboratory Medicine 10833 Le Conte Ave University of California, Los Angeles Y Y (3 year) Los Angeles, CA 90095 Program Director: Dr. Josh Deignan Contact: Andrew Aldapa Tel: (310) 206-1770 1 Updated: July 9, 2018 UCSD School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics, Division of Genetics 9500 Gilman Drive #0830 University of California, San Diego Y Y La Jolla, CA 92093-0830 Program Director: Dr. Marie Dell’Aquila Contact: Kate O’Shaunghnessy Tel: (619) 543-5237 UCSF School of Medicine Division of Pediatrics 550 16th Street 4th Fl.

Chesnut CHESNUT — FATHER ED DOWLING — PAGE 3 QUOTES “The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a de- mocracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it.” Edward Dowling, Chicago Daily News, July 28, 1941. Father Ed rejoiced that in “moving therapy from the expensive clinical couch to the low-cost coffee bar, from the inexperienced professional to the informed amateur, AA has democratized sani- ty.”1 “At one Cana Conference he commented, ‘No man thinks he’s ug- ly. If he’s fat, he thinks he looks like Taft. If he’s lanky, he thinks he looks like Lincoln.’”2 Edward Dowling, S.J., of the Queen’s Work staff, says, “Alcohol- ics Anonymous is natural; it is natural at the point where nature comes closest to the supernatural, namely in humiliations and in consequent humility. There is something spiritual about an art mu- seum or a symphony, and the Catholic Church approves of our use of them. There is something spiritual about A.A. too, and Catholic participation in it almost invariably results in poor Catholics be- coming better Catholics.” Added as an appendix to the Big Book in 1955.3 CHESNUT — FATHER ED DOWLING — PAGE 4 “‘God resists the proud, assists the humble. The shortest cut to humility is humiliations, which AA has in abundance.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This page was about seven years in the making and I’m still concerned that I will miss someone that aided me in this process. The best way to recognize everyone is to focus on three groups of people that have been supportive, inspiring, and encouraging in all manner of ways. Of course any method of organization is bound to have its flaws and none of these groupings are exclusive. The first group is professional.

  • A Pre-AA History Book
    A Pre-AA History Book A Study of Synchronic Events Between Years 1926 and 1935 which Culminated in the Birth of Alcoholics Anonymous Bob S. Forward The purpose of this book is to present a brief sketch of AA pre-history in hopes of pro- moting a greater interest in the exciting past of Alcoholics Anonymous. This book does not attempt to delve deeply into pre-AA, but includes a number of short snippets that may be interesting for the casual reader. There are many wonderful books on this sub- ject which are approved by the General Service Office of Alcoholics Anonymous, from which I have made use for this writing, as well as many outside books too numerous to mention, so I will not try. But thank you! I have had very much research assistance writing this book; I would like to thank Bruce C., and Dan R., from Muncie, Indiana, who helped dig up important facts from Man- chester, VT, in 2008. I would like to thank Ron F., from Bloomington, IN, for purchas- ing a long 100‘ tape measure to authenticate the Thacher residence location in Manches- ter, VT, as well as Jay S., from Redondo Beach, CA, and Barefoot Bill, from NJ, who repeated the same project to doubly assure authenticity. Also, I have learned much about early AA in Manchester, via email, from Les C., from Colorado. Arthur S., from Texas, sent important documents and pictures. And of course, Mel B‘s book, “Ebby, The Man Who sponsored Bill W.” was more helpful than I can say.
