Genetic Counselors

Genetic counselors are board certified/eligible health care professionals with specialized graduate degrees and experience in the areas of medical genetics and counseling.

Genetic counselors work as members of a health care team, providing information and support to families and to help them understand inherited conditions and how genetic screening/testing could affect them and their families. They identify families at risk, investigate the problem present in the family, interpret information about the disorder, analyze inheritance patterns and risks of recurrence and review available options with the family.

Genetic counselors also provide supportive counseling to families, serve as patient advocates and refer individuals and families to community or state support services. They serve as educators and resource people for other health care professionals and for the general public.
