October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Some people are born with differences in their genes that mean they have a higher lifetime risk. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have a family history of breast cancer to see if early screening or genetic testing might be helpful!

For those prospective students who did not match to a genetic counseling program today, you will hear a lot about how there are not enough spaces for so many qualified applicants. It is true. Take those messages to heart. Give yourself time to choose your next steps. Breathe.
