About: Genetic Counseling & Medical Genetics Careers
Kara Eckberg, MS CGC, Department of Clinical Genomics, Mayo Clinic
Join us for a discussion about genetic counseling, a nascent yet growing healthcare field that supports patients seeking more information about how inherited diseases and conditions might affect them and/or their families. We’ll talk about careers in medical genetics and how students can learn more about if this would be a good career field for them. We’ll also discuss current challenges and opportunities in the field of medical genetics, finishing up with a few case studies.
Teachers! Grab a drink, pull up a chair and connect with other grade 6 -12 STEM teachers at STEM on Tap.
You will receive a certificate for 2.0 hours of continuing education credit at the conclusion of the workshop.
