Students at the University of Sydney who are studying to become Genetic Counsellors are gaining first hand experience of working in a genetics service. Students who progress onto the Clinical Practice 2 module are being given the opportunity to observe how the genetic counselling theories they have been studying are applied in the real world.
In addition to observing experiences genetic counsellors in session, they will also get hands on with genetic patient management systems, including TrakGene. Students will develop practical skills in using pedigree drawing tools and collecting family history data. We are delighted to see students learning how to run modern and efficient genetics services.
