Education Needed
Genetic counselors typically need a master’s degree in genetic counseling or genetics. Prospective students seeking a master's degree may have an undergraduate degree in any discipline if they have fulfilled prerequisite courses. Those prerequisites often are met by completing a bachelor's degree in a science-related field, such as biology.
Coursework in genetic counseling includes public health, epidemiology, psychology, and developmental biology. Classes emphasize genetics, public health, and patient empathy. Students also must complete clinical rotations, during which they work directly with patients and clients.
| Duties - Interview patients to get comprehensive individual family and medical histories
- Evaluate genetic information to identify patients or families at risk for specific genetic disorders
- Write detailed consultation reports to provide information on complex genetic concepts for patients or referring physicians
- Discuss testing options and the associated risks, benefits, and limitations with patients, families, and other healthcare providers
- Counsel patients and family members by providing information, education, or reassurance regarding genetic risks and inherited conditions
- Participate in professional organizations or conferences to keep abreast of developments in genetics and genomics
