Internship

Catalog description

In addition to course-based degree requirements, students participate in internships related to the field of genetic counseling. These internships begin in the students' first term. Internships give students opportunities to learn in varying practice-based environments including clinical and laboratory settings, as well as placements in a research and/or advocacy capacity with a specific organization or research protocol. Students document their experiences online daily and provide written summaries of their experiences for the program leadership to review. Students attend their internships once a week. Clinical supervisors evaluate the students in each of the placements.
