Christina Laleva and I recently attended the National Society of Genetic Counselors livestream panel discussion on Genetic Counselor Awareness Day. It was great to hear the panel which consisted of Carrie Haverty; Sarah Soto; Sandy McDonough; Jessie Conta and Dawn McGee, MS, CGC as they discussed navigating their roles as Industry Genetic Counsellors and genetic counsellors in non-traditional roles. Our key takeaways from this panel discussion were as follows: 1. To prioritise networking and connections - you never know who you will meet or what impact your connections will have further in on your career. 2. To not limit yourself as a GC by only applying for traditional GC roles. For this point, the GC’s suggested following something that excites you and to not look necessarily at the job title but the job description. GC’s have many amazing skills that are transferable to many different roles and industries. Applying for non-traditional GC roles will not limit your future options but only grow other skills you would have never thought of developing and opening other avenues. Here are a list of some non-traditional roles that were mentioned or that you may have not considered as a GC: Medical science liaison, product manger or product marketing in a pharmaceutical company, program management in a pharmaceuticals company, patient advocate, clinical research coordinator, health educator, genomics policy advisor, sales representative for a pharmaceuticals company, medical/ science writer. I have created the following infographic to highlight some of the valuable skills GC’s possess. Share the post and comment below other valuable skills you think GC’s bring to the table! #geneticcounselling #geneticcounselor #geneticcounsellingawarenessday

Today,?on #GeneticCounselorAwarenessDay, we delivered a letter to Congressional leadership with nearly 500 signatures urging Congress?to include the Access to Genetic Counselor Services Act in an end-of-year legislative package. This legislation would?recognize genetic counselors as healthcare providers and?expand access to genetic counseling for Medicare beneficiaries, empowering patients with crucial health insights. Thank you to everyone who supported this essential initiative! Link to the letter: https://lnkd.in/gVEDA9ZR
