Today is Rare Disease Day. As genetic counselors, we help affected individuals and their families along their journeys, remembering that, for them, every day is Rare Disease Day.

You can never learn enough about disabilities when you are a genetic counselor. Or a human being, for that matter. https://t.co/HJBkD9yk7P

Congratulations to second year students Davia Schioppo, Kimmy Butland and Katie Prince for being selected to participate in the @BrandeisGSAS Career Fellowship Program this Spring!

After starting the term with two weeks of remote learning, we were excited to welcome both our first and second year students back to campus today! So satisfying to have (almost) everyone together and in person. Looking forward to a great semester.

Congrats to alum Lathel Rolle on the publication of her thesis work in JGC!!!

The Brandeis GC program strives to create an inclusive and respectful environment for EVERYONE. We value our students, faculty and all others who train them for their future profession. We join other programs and the GC community in condemning hatred in any form.

*corrected version of previous tweet*. The Brandeis GC Program will be pausing admissions this year and will not be accepting a class to matriculate in Fall 2022. Please visit our FB page for additional information. We hope to be back in the Match next year!

A new sweep question for either the beginning “We are interested in knowing both the gender identity and sex assigned at birth” or end “Is there anyone whose sex assigned at birth is different from how they currently identify?” of pedigree taking. Or both! Even more inclusive…

In the “Gender Inclusive Genetic Counseling” session at this week’s NSGC Annual Conference, the thesis projects of two Program alumni, Liz Sheehan ‘18 and Lathel Rolle ‘20, were mentioned! Liz’s has been published and Lathel’s was recently submitted for publication. Way to go!

Second year Lauren O’Sullivan has been at Maine Medical Center this summer for her pediatric rotation with 4 genetic counselors who are all Program alums! She has enjoyed seeing ,”how each of them approach a patient or situation, which has been such a great learning experience.”

Another remarkable story, told with incredible honesty, by GC program alum Niri Carroll.

[Genetic Counselors @GeneticCouns]

Torn between her role as a genetic counselor and a daughter, Niri Carroll, MS, LCGC discusses how she coped with a positive test result, the ongoing process of disclosure and the emotional implications for herself and her family. Read more: https://t.co/zdMD5YFWoB #GCChat

Beautiful piece written by GC Program alum! Our personal and professional lives are not siloed…

[Genetic Counselors @GeneticCouns]

What do you do when your personal and professional life intersect? Hear from Jennifer Jacober, MS, MPH, CGC about her journey into donor conception and her health history after learning she was conceived using an egg donor: https://t.co/wtYm9tIT0s #GCChat

Important evidence based guidelines published by ACMG this week. This could change everything in pediatric genetics, especially for insurance coverage.

[Genomes2People @Genomes2People]

For the first time, the @TheACMG has announced evidence based guidelines for WGS/WES in pediatric cases of intellectual disability and multiple congenital anomalies in @GIMJournal https://t.co/CRGRZK3C9b
