🧬 What is a Genetic Counselor? 👩⚕️
Genetic counselors are healthcare professionals who work with individuals, families, communities and other healthcare professionals to empower them to understand how genetic information impacts their lives or the lives of their patients.
So fun to share the annual NCal Coalition of Genetic Counselors annual meeting with most of our 2nd years. Beautiful setting, stimulating talks and amazing company. Can it get any better???

As research into genetics and genomics advances, scientists need to work to dismantle and confront ableism, which still exists in science and in society.
Chancellor Hawgood & all of UCSF warmly welcome @VP Kamala Harris to campus today! She's meeting with participants & providers involved in our EMBRACE program, which provides race-concordant perinatal care for Black pregnant people.
