Excited by new discoveries in genetics and compelled to share. Diagnostic applications, important conferences and genetics in the news.

Vanderbilt Master of Genetic Counseling Program has received accreditation! Amazing work to @MarthaDudek for leading the charge and to our amazing team of GCs who invested their time! ❤️🧬@VUMCgenetics #GCchat #IAmAGeneticCounselor

[Erica Bednar @EMBOSU]

Per abstract:17 GCs reported spending approximately 20% of their time face-to-face w/ pts, 64% on case prep, follow-up+administrative tasks & 16% on tasks unrelated to direct pt care. 

Administrative complexity=source of wasted healthcare resources. GCs time can be better spent!

“I think the most important part about communicating is the listening we do beforehand. When we can truly respect what someone brings to what we’re offering, it makes the communication all the more meaningful.”

If you’re near Stanford Law School Thurs, come see our CRISPR’d Babies panel: 12:45, rm 180. Matt Porteus, Bill Hurlbut, & me. Matt & Bill know He Jiankui and spoke w/him before the “reveal.” And I’ve got opinions. We’ll videotape and post it but seeing it live, priceless! (Free)
