WHAT IS A GENETIC COUNSELOR?



A genetic counselor is a healthcare professional who has specific academic
training to serve and support individuals and families with genetic conditions
or those who may be at risk for genetic conditions or birth defects. Genetic
counselors typically practice as part of a health care team, primarily in
prenatal, pediatric and oncology settings. Many genetic counselors work in
industry, such as laboratories that offer genetic testing services. Other
genetic counselors work in public health settings educating the public about
screening and prevention options for certain birth defects and genetic
conditions.

THIS IS MY FIRST VISIT TO A GENETIC COUNSELOR. WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

Genetic counselors frequently speak to clients about complex scientific and
emotional topics. Usually the issues involve genetic conditions or birth defects
or possibilities of such things occurring. The topic you bring to the genetic
counseling session may determine the content of the discussion, however you can
expect the genetic counselor to have specialized knowledge and be able to answer
your questions, maybe even to anticipate some of your questions. Often, the
genetic counselor acts as an interpreter for the medical information and a
support person if the information turns out to be stressful.
