Thank you so much for this video. I'm a bachelor student who will start Master of Genetic Counseling 1 year later but I would love to pre read some books that are being taught in the first year of a Master of Genetic counseling program. Could you please let me know what books they are? I know they differ from uni to uni but some of them may be the same.
I didn't have a white coat ceremony or take any oaths and I don't know of any other GCs that have done that. Some GCs do wear white coats on the job though :)
the test you talked about is to be given in order to get a license? also, why do you think that prenatal genetic counselors are more emotionally trained? im just curious, not trying to be rude or anything
The test I’m talking about is to become board certified which tests your knowledge on a broad range of genetics information and counseling skills. Pretty much all jobs require you to be board certified. There is no test for licensure - the licensing process is specific to each state and requires a bunch of paperwork and payment.
I personally think that I would find prenatal counseling more emotionally draining because you see many cases where you are discussing the possibility of terminating a pregnancy that was very much wanted or you are discussing preparing to raise a child with disabilities that were unexpected. At such a happy time in a parent’s life these are very difficult conversations to have. Other genetic counselors may have their own views on why cancer genetic counseling may be more emotionally draining. Just my personal opinion.
