Abstract
Genetic counselors aid patients in their decision making, with regards to their genetic predispositions and corresponding risk, by gathering family health history information, informing patients about genetic testing benefits and discussing results and options after test results arrive. Genetic counselors work in a variety of fields including pediatrics, cancer, cardiovascular, neurology, prenatal and preconception.
