Genetic Counseling Practicum

Genetic counseling practicum is a hands-on training program for individuals studying to become genetic counselors. In this setting, students work under the supervision of experienced counselors to learn how to assess genetic health risks, interpret genetic information, and support families in understanding their genetic makeup. They practice communication skills, provide guidance on genetic testing options, and help clients make informed decisions about their health. The practicum is essential for developing the skills needed to support patients dealing with genetic conditions or inherited diseases in a compassionate and professional manner.
