The European Certificate in Medical Genetics and Genomics (ECMGG) is the geneticsexam at the European level, that ITHACA is a partner of. It is a joint development of the UEMS Section of Medical Genetics (UEMS-SMG) and the Branch of Medical Genetics and Genomics of the European Board of Medical Genetics (EBMG-BMGG), and has the support of the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG).

It is intended to be the main knowledge-based assessment tool for Clinical / Medical Genetics and Genomics training across Europe, establishing world class-leading standards in the specialty throughout all European countries.

The examination consists of 110 multiple choice questions (MCQs) and six structured oral assessments (SOAs) set up as OSCE-style stations. The two parts of the exam (MCQs and SOAs)  take place online.
