APPLICATIONS OF BIOCHEMICAL GENETICS FOR GENETIC COUNSELORS

GENECSLR 737

A series of selected basic issues and topics that are core curricular requirements specific to genetics counseling.

GENECSLR 740

Introduction to clinical laboratory genetics with a particular focus on the relevance of human cytogenetics and molecular genetics to the practice of medical genetics. Covers the fundamental principles of human cytogenetic and molecular genetics including human chromosome structure, function, cytogenetic and molecular nomenclature, and current clinical laboratory testing methods relevant to medical genetic professionals. Apply cytogenetic and molecular genetic understanding to clinical scenarios to help diagnosis and manage individuals with genetic disease.

GENECSLR 731

An advanced course covering clinical genetic concepts including phenotype, genetic mechanisms, approach to diagnosis (medical, clinical and genetic testing protocols), and natural history (including management approaches).

GENECSLR 721

Integrative introduction to the mechanisms of clinical genetic disease at the molecular, individual and population level.

GENECSLR 748

Advanced topics in the discipline of genetic counseling. Emphasis will be on advanced practice topics including setting boundaries, delivering life altering news, developing a socially responsible practice, moving from a novice to master counselor, and the job search.
