The NCBC CGRA™ Certification endeavors to provide assurance that professional awarded certification has acquired the requisite knowledge, skills and expertise in cancer genetics risk assessment, and is keeping current with the advances in knowledge and developments in this rapidly evolving specialty field of practice. Preferred candidates are professionals licensed in the United States, including physicians, nurse practitioners/advanced practice nurses and physician assistants seeking to demonstrate advanced knowledge in providing cancer genetics and cancer risk assessment subspecialty practice. Genetic counselors do not need to obtain this certification as the competencies are covered by genetic counselor
training and maintenance of certification. The purpose of the CGRA™ exam is to assess knowledge, skills and competencies previously acquired and necessary to assess, educate and provide cancer genetics risk assessment clinical services to patients and their families. There is a focus of this exam on comprehensive breast cancer risk assessment although a broader recognition of cancer genetics and cancer predisposition genes associated with hereditary
cancer risk is expected of the candidate. Full CGRA™ Exam Schedule
