Program in Genetic Counseling
As genetics and genomics become increasingly integrated into healthcare, genetic counselors play a critical role in helping individuals, families, and healthcare teams navigate complex medical information and make informed decisions. From prenatal care and pediatrics to oncology, cardiology, neurology, and rare disease diagnosis, genetic counselors are at the forefront of a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
The need for highly trained genetic counselors continue to grow as advances in genomic technology expand opportunities for earlier diagnosis, personalized treatment, disease prevention, and patient-centered care.
