How to Become a Genetic Counselor

We walk through the steps from finding out genetic counseling is a profession to getting your prerequisites then on to acceptance into a program, coursework, and finding a job.

Managing Your Personal Code of Ethics

Counselors must be able to support any patient in their medical decisions.  Some people may not feel comfortable doing that, so in this video, we discuss termination of pregnancy, IVF with PGT, working with the LGBTQIA+ community, and CRISPR/Gene Therapy to help you begin to evaluate if your personal ethics system is compatible with being a genetic counselor.

Diversity in the Field

We dive into the problem of the lack of diversity within genetic counseling. We look at data from counselors of racial minorities, different gender identities/sexual orientations, and with disabilities to explore their satisfaction within the profession of GC and with their work.

Health Insurance in the United States

Medical insurance is a massive headache. You'll fight with it most of your career. Here we talk about how the US health insurance system works, how patients get their coverage, and how counselors typically engage with insurance providers during the genetic testing process.
