Finals always remind me of how much we’ve really learned throughout the semester, yet how little of it I’ve absorbed

[rebecccaaa🌻 @rojasxalta]

Extremely proud and excited to be joining the genetic counseling field as a Latina from an underrepresented community. I hope I am able to raise awareness of the health disparities that exist in my community/other brown & black communities and be part of the change #GeneMatch2022

[rebecccaaa🌻 @rojasxalta]

To all the POC who unfortunately did not match this cycle - you are all amazing, no system can take that from y’all. Please feel free to reach out to me if you want to talk about it/just want to say hi. I matched my second cycle and i know the heartache is real. Here for y’all!❤️

[Ann Ly @AnnLyGC]

This is hitting home, definitely applies in the genetic counseling field too #genechat

[Dr. Alissa Darden, MD @rockstardoc]

So, you matched a diverse class…now what? These are all of the things that can poison the environment for those residents/fellows and make your learning environment inhospitable. This is where the hard work lies. #PAS2022 #MedTwitter #pedstwitter

Happy match day!! Remember matching doesn’t reflect how capable and intelligent you are! Good luck everyone!! #GeneMatch2022 #GeneChat 🎉✨🧬

[Morgan Webster @morgangenetics]

Remember no matter what happens tomorrow, the match DOES NOT DICTATE YOUR WORTH as a person and a future genetic counselor. There are many successful GCs that did not match the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc time. There’s room for all of us ❤️ #GeneMatch2022

[Emma Bradley @emmalea23]

I have only seen actual consanguinity in clinic in white families, and yet I have only seen GCs ask about consanguinity with patients of color…#GeneChat we have to stop stereotyping patients

[Kaitlin @kaitsulvp]

GC programs requiring very specific types of volunteering/job experience has always seemed like a big issue to me #GeneChat

[Ann Ly @AnnLyGC]

I’m pretty sure the time I spent trying to find and access fee waivers to afford applying to begin with, could have allowed me to submit another application. So excited to see the application cycle become more accessible! #FirstGen #GCChat

Shontiara Johnson (@Shontiara1) experienced firsthand the challenges of merely *applying* to grad school and fulfilling all the necessary requirements to do so — that's why she helped dream up the GC Immersive. #GCAwarenessDay

[Genetic Counselors @GeneticCouns]

We are excited on this #GCAwarenessDay to learn that @PennMedicine received a $9.5 million grant from The Warren Alpert Foundation to increase diversity in genetic counseling! Read more about the impact of this gift: https://t.co/9004LzWFEO #GCChat #IAmAGeneticCounselor

[Dena DNA @DenaTalksDNA]

Are my posts self-promoting?
Yes.
Self-promotion is an important leadership skill & something we need to become more comfortable with. How else will people learn about the important work you do?
#gcchat Lets practice- Reply promoting a project/achievement you want to share👇🏼

Happy #GCAwarenessDay! Genetic counselors rock!

[Minority Genetic Professionals Network @minoritygenetic]

What are the benefits of having a genetic counselor on your care team? GCs help patients and providers choose appropriate genetic tests and avoid unnecessary testing that could result in high costs and emotional distress.
