In principle practitioners / non-Medical Doctors working in Human Genetics diagnostics laboratories worldwide may apply for the ErCLG title. Prerequisite is that they actually work in a European country or need the title to apply for an actual position in Europe.
From 2016/2017 on we accept also applicants worldwide. Such applicants being eligible for the ErCLG title but not working in Europe can obtain the title 'affiliated ErCLG'.
