GENC 680 Practicum in Genetic Counseling I
In clinical rotations, students will observe and practice genetic counseling skills under the supervision of board certified genetics professionals. First year genetic counseling students will participate in several two-week-long clinical/fieldwork rotations. These will alternate with several two-week-long clinical skills rotations that encourage students to develop specific foundational skills necessary within the first year of training. All rotations will take place throughout the fall and spring semesters of the first year. The student role in patient cases and within clinical skills role plays will increase throughout each and every rotation. Students will develop skills consistent with the ACGC Practice Based Competencies.
