Genetic Counselor

What is a Genetic Counselor—Qualifications, Education, Job details...

Genetic counselors are health professionals with specialized graduate degrees such as a M.D or PH.D

Genetic counselors provide information and support to families who have members with birth defects or genetic disorders and to families who may be at risk for a variety of inherited conditions. 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.
