VCU Genetic Counseling Program

VCU Genetic Counseling Program The master’s degree program in genetic counseling requires four full-time semesters of study and summer clinical work for students entering with a B.S. or B.A.

degree. Students working toward the M.S. degree have an integrated and progressively complex classroom and supervised clinical experience designed to support development of the genetic counseling practice-based skills set forth by the American Board of Genetic Counseling. Clinical exposure and experience begins in the first semester of training. Balancing of the student and professional roles is a lifelong process in the changing field of human genetics and genetic counseling. Students will be contributing members to the clinical genetics team of counselors, physicians, basic scientists and support staff. In addition to participating in course work and counseling rotations, students in the department also participate in a number of community and education programs. Students are encouraged to present educational talks to parent groups, teachers and area schools regarding various topics and issues.
