@CamTooDangerous Share with the class?

When I trained in genetic counseling nearly 10 years ago, nephrogenetics wasn't a defined specialty. Creating the NSGC Renal SIG allowed us to build an international community which continues to grow today. I'm so grateful to everyone I've learned from- the future is bright! 🧬🫘

The @KidneyFund is hosting their 7th annual Kidney Action Week from March 2-5, and I'm excited to be speaking about nephrology genetic counseling! This is a free virtual event dedicated to education on all things kidney health. https://t.co/Zzpu9qiCWH #KidneyActionWeek

MYTH: Genetic testing cost is a barrier for patients 🙅🏼‍♀️
Many patients pay little to nothing out of pocket for testing, but may gain huge insights into the cause of their disease 🧬 A genetic counselor can help!

What simple changes in how you ask the same question have you like 🤯 in terms of how much more effective you are? E.g..pedigree taking: how many children did your parents have together inc you? >> how many siblings do you have? & then clarifying ½ vs full sibs

Incredible work from world leaders in implementation of genetics into the nephrology space! 🤩👏 #BeanGenes

[American Kidney Fund @KidneyFund]

The most powerful way to raise awareness is by sharing personal stories, and AKF wants to hear yours. Tell us how APOL1-mediated kidney disease has impacted the lives of you or your loved ones by submitting a short video to help make others #APOL1Aware: https://t.co/HWzuosxhV7
