Overview

Key Facts and Outcomes

The training program consists of three major components: foundational didactic education, clinical training, and research.

The didactic curriculum embraces the latest advances in contemporary genetics while maintaining deep roots in humanistic counseling theory, and a commitment to the ethical application of genomic medicine.

Clinical training experiences are available in a variety of campus genetics clinics and laboratories and expose students to the rich ethnocultural and socioeconomic diversity of the Bay Area.

Partnerships with Bay Area genetics clinics provide students additional clinical training opportunities beyond the campus boundaries. Close proximity to Silicon Valley and the high concentration of biotechnology companies also allows for students to train in some of the nation’s most recognized genetics private industry organizations.

The Genetic Counseling program is offered by University of California, San Francisco.
