LJ: “we ARE directive some times in some circumstances - we need to move away from the false dichotomy of directive/non-directive” #GCChat #NSGC21 ^J9

[Caitlin Mann @caitlinmannCGC]

Genetic counselors have a unique skill set and we need to OWN that #NSGC21 #GCChat

[Genetic Counselors @GeneticCouns]

LJ: arguing that directiveness has a place in genetic counseling - there’s room for us to provide guidance in the context of a patients expressed values. We shouldn’t be shy about this, it’s valuable and rare in medicine. #GCChat #NSGC21 ^J9

[Altovise T. Ewing, PhD, LCGC @altovisee]

I look forward to the day that all genetic testing companies incorporate and optimize ancestry in their product offerings. It's one ethical and equitable way to ensure that precision medicine doesn't remain a broken promise for our richly diverse world. #GCChat #NSGC21

Honored and humbled to have heard these incredible stories of courage and strength. Thank you to all who shared, and the countless others who have similar stories. (B17: Latin American Immigrant Experience) #NSGC21 #gcchat

[Caitlin Mann @caitlinmannCGC]

This is SUCH an important part of expanded carrier screening. We need more genetically-based ancestry data to increase test accuracy and decrease disparities. Thank you @GoodGenesGC @srod0587 and @ElizFiegCGC for this really insightful talk! #NSGC21 #GCChat

Key takeaways from @sammdrazin during his fantastic, insightful, and vulnerable #NSGC21 talk.
Thank you for joining us! It was a great reminder to lead with empathy.

Getting settled in for #NSGC21 with some coffee and a blanket (it's only 60 in Nashville!). Excited to engage and learn over the next 4 days! @GeneticCouns

[Caitlin Mann @caitlinmannCGC]

Great and important read for anyone in #GCchat 🏳️‍⚧️ inclusive language is not just for those in prenatal genetics

[Genetic Counselors @GeneticCouns]

We oppose Texas #SB8 as it prevents healthcare providers, including genetic counselors, from delivering quality patient care without fear of retribution. We support the right of individuals to make reproductive choices, including access to safe abortion. #GCchat
