Spotted: #GeneticCounselors in the wild! When you picture a Genetic Counselor, do you envision them in a clinical or laboratory setting? You wouldn’t necessarily be wrong: as someone whose job is to help guide you through genetic test selection, implications, and results, a Genetic Counselor would likely be found in those places.? But many Genetic Counselors are also actively engaged in the wider community as advocates, educators, and explorers. From representing tradeshows?to promoting awareness at events to contributing groundbreaking research, it seems they're always working to improve lives and make a difference in the community.
