You can also speak with different national Genetic Counseling Professional Organizations to find out more general information about the field.
Visit the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) room to find out more about the profession.
The Genetic Counselor Educator Association (GCEA) page can provide you info about training programs in general, and answer questions about the Match Process.
If you are from a historically excluded and minoritized background and interested in the profession, visit the Minority Genetic Professionals Network (MGPN) room to speak with other underrepresented genetic counselors and students.
If you identify as having a disability, be sure to visit the DisabilityGC Network room to talk to practicing genetic counselors about their network.
Some exhibit rooms may not have live staff available during all hours of the fair. When you click the logo of the program that links to their Zoom room, if they are staffed live, you will see a message that says ‘Please wait for the host to let you in.’ They should then admit you to their room.
Some rooms may allow you to enter, and have a video or informational slides presented without a live staff member.
If their Zoom room is closed and not staffed, you will see a message that says ‘The host has not yet started the meeting.’
If you see this message, please exit the room and click the button ‘Genetic Counseling Training Program Profiles and Info’. Here you can see information and resources about the program of interest, as well as fill out a form with your email address to request more information from that program.
