Clinical Genetic Counselor

Clinical Genetic Counselor

Clinical Genetic Counselors in health sciences are highly trained professionals who help individuals and families navigate the complexities of genetic information. Their primary role involves assessing genetic risks, providing information, and offering emotional support to patients dealing with hereditary conditions or genetic predispositions.

These counselors work closely with patients, reviewing medical histories and family pedigrees to identify genetic risks. They interpret genetic test results, explain inheritance patterns, and offer guidance on treatment options and preventive measures. Clinical Genetic Counselors also address the psychosocial aspects of genetic conditions, helping patients make informed decisions.
