Northwestern’s ABGC-accredited MSGC trains clinicians to navigate the genomic revolution with compassion and rigor. Didactics cover molecular genetics, cancer predisposition, and bioinformatics, while counseling practicums in prenatal, pediatric, onco-genetics, and neuro-genetics clinics hone culturally responsive communication. Students scrub into molecular diagnostics labs, analyze exome variants using ClinVar and Decipher, and complete research on uptake of polygenic-risk scores in diverse populations. A policy immersion in Washington, DC equips graduates to advocate for genetics access and privacy.
