In this heartfelt reflection, one Diplomate shares how community, perseverance, and support played a key role in finally earning their certification. A must-read for anyone on the journey to becoming a genetic counselor.

The journey to becoming a certified genetic counselor looks different for everyone. For me, it took two exam cycles to finally earn that special “C” before “GC”— and let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. That letter didn’t come just from hard work and content review; it came from personal g...
