Abstract
The question implicit in my title was explicitly framed by Alan Guttmacher and colleagues1 in an article entitled “Genomic Medicine: Who Will Practice It?” While this question is a general one, my particular concern is with what the roles of medical genetics and medical geneticists will be in what is being referred to as genomic medicine. To answer these questions, it is necessary to define what we mean by “medical genetics and medical geneticists” and by “genomic medicine.” Although this might appear to be a semantic exercise, that is not my intention. Rather, if we are to look at the future role of medical genetics in the practice of medicine, I believe that we really need to understand what we are talking about. I shall start with medical genetics and medical geneticists.
