2023-2024 Graduate Catalog


GENC 682 Practicum in Genetic Counseling III

In clinical rotations, students will practice genetic counseling skills under the supervision of board-certified genetics professionals. Second year genetic counseling students will each participate in 5 clinical/fieldwork rotations which are each 8-weeks long. At least 3 of the rotations are to be in Prenatal Genetics, Cancer Genetics, and General Genetics. The remaining 2 rotations are chosen under guidance and advisement from the Program Director and Assistant Director. For students spending their second year in San Diego, most will have a non-clinical lab or industry rotation available. The expected student role and student proficiency increases throughout each and every rotation. Students will develop skills consistent with the ACGC Practice Based Competencies.
