Given the challenges in improving access to genetic services, especially for underserved populations, regional models for genetic services support centers offer an opportunity to improve access to genetic services to local populations. Although a regional model can facilitate access, some systemic issues exist-e.g., distribution of a workforce trained in genetics-that regional genetic services support centers cannot resolve.
