Description

Are you interested in healthcare, but not sure if medical school is right for you? Are you exploring careers in psychology or behavioral sciences? 

Genetic counseling is an allied health profession which integrates biology, psychology, health policy, academic medicine, and more. Genetic counselors play the important role of balancing genetic information and psychosocial counseling while empowering patients to learn about hereditary conditions and their impact on families. 

The Maryland and DC Society of Genetic Counselors (MDCGC) is excited to present about this important profession at University of Maryland, Baltimore County, on Friday, December 5th, 2025 at 12:00 PM.  We will present background information, a Q&A with genetic counselors and current graduate students, and the there will be an opportunity for participants explore ethical considerations of the profession. This event is open to everyone, but might be especially interesting for biology, psychology, pre-health, and other similar majors.
