Varied clinical experiences, interprofessional approach
Evolving technologies have created an important transition in genetic counseling with a newer emphasis on genomics. Training includes preparing you to manage an increasing number of available genetic tests and the development of new reimbursable service delivery models that can serve larger communities. Genetic counselors are increasingly recognized for their contributions to primary care, and the vital role they play in today's healthcare settings. Your studies will prepare you to understand how individuals engage cognitively and emotionally with genomic information, and how they make decisions regarding use of the information.
