What is Genetic Counseling?
Genetic counselors are medical professionals who work as part of the healthcare team to help patients and families interpret, understand, and make decision about their genetic health.
About the Program
Our students benefit from UA’s rich biomedical research and clinical training programs in both Tucson and Phoenix. With campuses and medical schools in both cities, students have the opportunity to train with clinicians, researchers, and experts in the field of genetics and genomic medicine.
