Quote from an international genetic counselor."Job searching is so much more than finding a job - it's finding out where you live, will there be a future there, Where will your home be? How long will it be home"in addition to all the regular stressors of life ..."^HZ #NSGC22

Hey #gcchat @StLukesHealth has an opening for a Genetic Counselor on the MFM team. It’s been a great place to learn & grow over the past two years. 10/10 recommend Boise for work/outdoor adventure life balance. Message me if you would like more details.

@suzitai @J3ssHartman I wrote both exams last year and am so glad I got both out of the way :) I thought they were quite similar. Good luck !

@SohneeAhmed Very true! I like asking an open ended question, “Tell me about method of conception, delivery, etc”. Though sometimes I need to elaborate to aid in understanding

[Amy Stenhouse @amymstenhouse]

There are so many negative connotations in OB care.
1. Did you deliver “naturally” or via c-section
2. Was this pregnancy conceived “naturally” or via IVF?
We need to do better to empower patients, instead of make them feel like their experience/choice was “unnatural” #gcchat
