Information Session

Join us for information session, where we’ll introduce the field of genetic counseling and share the focus and direction of the club. This first meeting will include a brief introduction to the club’s mission and priorities. We will dicuss key resources the club aims to share, including information about genetic counseling assistant (GCA) position, guidance on gaining relevant experience, such as internships or shadowing, and opportunities to learn from and connect with current genetic counselors, students, and patients.

A meeting date has not yet been finalized, but we anticipate holding it in late March. We are excited to build a community for students interested in genetic counseling. All undergraduate majors and class years are welcome.

Penn's Genetic Counseling Student Interest Group is a student organization at the University of Pennsylvania. Our goal is to serve as a resource for students who are interested in learning about the field of genetic counseling or who plan on applying to genetic counseling masters programs in the future. Club meetings will include programming and education, as well as a chance to interact with the Penn MSGC program. All are welcome!
