🧬 Happy Genetic Counselor Awareness Day! Learn how JAX genetic counselors use their specialized training to advance genomics research & utilization of genomics in health care:

Simplify Genomics supports #MedicalGeneticsAwareness Week and joins ACMG - American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics in celebrating all the critical contributions from medical genomics healthcare professionals around the world to improve #patientcare by increasing awareness and understanding of how medical genetics and genomics can be utilized in the diagnosis, management, and prevention of genetic diseases. #ACMG2024 #MedicalGeneticsAwareness #patientcare #wholegenomesequencing #simplifygenomics

It's been 5 years since this work was begun by Lacey N. Lemke, MPH with guidance from Karen Niemchick, PhD, MHS and it's finally published! Access to clinical genetic services continues to be a significant challenge still today and shows no signs of stopping as there are so many front doors for genetics and genomics to inform medical care. This article looks at what we learned looking at the problem and hopefully can help continue the conversation we must keep having about how to get patients and families the care that they need at the right time and right place so they can get the right care right away #nsgc #geneticcounselor #acmg #genetics

✨️Ever wondered what genetic counselors do? Allow me to shed some light! 💡 🚀Genetic counselors are healthcare professionals who specialize in genetics and counseling. 🚀Their role is crucial in helping individuals and families understand genetic conditions, inheritance patterns, and the implications of genetic testing. 🎯 Who might benefit from a visit to a genetic counselor? Well, anyone! But especially individuals with: ✔️a family history of genetic conditions, ✔️ couples planning a family, ✔️ pregnant women considering prenatal testing, and ✔️ those diagnosed with or at risk for a genetic disorder. 🤷♀️So, what answers can you expect from a genetic counselor? They provide personalized guidance, support, and education tailored to your specific genetic concerns. 🧭 They help you understand your risk factors, explore testing options, interpret test results, and navigate complex medical decisions with compassion and expertise. 🚀 In a nutshell, genetic counselors are superheroes in the world of genetics, empowering individuals and families to make informed choices about their health and future. 🎈If you're curious about your genetic health or have questions about your family history, consider reaching out to a genetic counselor today! #GeneticCounseling #HealthcareHeroes #Empowerment 💪🧬 --- 🔔 If you are wondering "Why", the writer has enrolled in the "Genomics and Genetics" course at EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe - Open Academy and is constantly repeating myself why they love my job! These kinds of education offer a whole lot of value. Check it out for yourself!

Developing the Genomic Workforce The Melbourne Genomics workforce development program aimed to ensure professionals in genetic testing laboratories and specialist genetic services had sufficient experience in analyzing and interpreting genomic sequencing information. However, there were shortages in the specialist workforce needed for genomics, such as clinical bioinformatics and genetic counselling. The program also highlighted the need for a wider clinical workforce to guide patients through genomic medicine pathways, as genomics would impact the wider #healthcaresystem. #clinicalgenetics #clinicalgenomics #genomicmedicine #humangenetics #medicalgenetics #precisionmedicine
