Support of Diversity
The field of genetic counseling suffers from a lack of counselor diversity...meaning our patients also suffer. Obviously, cost barriers are not the only reason this diversity crisis exists, but it's a factor we can address. Access fees can be waived for applications of select underrepresented or low-income* groups. Become a member and complete the demographics survey below for eligibility.
