Genetic Counselors

   Genetic counselors are health professionals who are trained to help families understand genetic disorders and to provide information and support to those families. They may also serve as patient advocates by referring individuals or families to local services that can be of assistance.
   Genetic counselors are health professionals with specialized graduate degrees and experience in the areas of medical genetics and counseling. A qualifications of becoming a genetic counselor is to  submit documented experience and pass a state examination and earn a master's degree in college. A genetic counselors job is to talk to a family about a disease and help them understand it as I stated before.
