What is unique about the New England Consortium of Metabolic Programs?
The New England Consortium includes professional representatives from metabolic centers, public health departments, and newborn screening programs. Representatives from industry, parent organizations, and support groups also participate. It is the only professional organization in New England that brings together those involved in the identification, treatment, or study of inborn errors of metabolism. Recent projects include: developing acute illness protocols for the treatment of metabolic disorders to be used by general practitioners and emergency room staff and sponsoring social support events around New England.
