Genetic Counseling Rounds I

Catalog description

Once a week, students participate in discussion of clinical cases and recent journal literature. Through their participation, students gain familiarity with the process of reviewing clinical material and providing peer supervision. Presenting clinical and scientific information for group discussion in conferences and patient rounds is an important skill for genetic counselors. This seminar provides these experiences in a supportive environment and thus permits skill building in this area. This activity introduces students to a broad range of diagnoses and methods of managing a case. Discussions of case organization and tailoring a presentation to a specific patient is another aspect of this seminar.
