What is Genetic Counseling?
Are you looking for a career that combines your love for science, sociology, psychology, and helping others? Then you should consider a career as a Genetic Counselor! The genetic counseling profession is rapidly expanding and diversifying. The demand for genetic counselors in clinical, teaching, administrative, commercial, private practice, and consulting environments will continue well into the 21st century!
What is ?
Founded in 2012 as the first genetic counseling student interest group on a college campus, the mission of the GCSIG at UCLA is to provide a resource for students interested in learning more about the field of genetic counseling, who plan on applying to genetic counseling programs in the future or are curious about jobs that combine health care, genetics, and advocacy through our programs of education, experience, and outreach. If this sounds interesting to you, we would love to have you join us for an exciting year full of opportunities to explore this field!
