As a genetic counselor, it's a privilege helping diverse people & families with their genetic health. Let's raise awareness of the profession to help reduce health disparities & improve access. nsgc.org/Education-and-… #GeneticCounselorAwarenessDay #IAmAGeneticCounselor #GeneChat

The University of Colorado and UCHealth Hereditary GI Cancer team showing their support during #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth with a #strongarmselfie. So proud to be part of such an incredible team!

@doublehelixTAT Good luck @doublehelixTAT! You've got this. Just say 'no' to any potential distractions that try to come your way. ☺️

it’s UNCG Fall Break and I’m spending the next two days in a writing retreat hoping to put a big dent in my dissertation…

@TPP_MD We have approximately 20,000 pairs of genes in each cell...not the kind you wear (jeans), the kind that give your body instructions. 😆 #jokeItelltotoomanypatients

What’s your favorite catch phrase in medicine? I’ll go first. Anesthesia - “You can’t fix stupid. But you can sedate it.” #MedTwitter

@unmccahp @unmc @unmc_mmi @HollyZ_theGC You're the best @HollyZ_theGC 💛

Congratulations to those who matched today! We welcomed the #UNMCGeneticCounseling class of 2025 with a color canon. @unmc @unmc_mmi @HollyZ_theGC

Meechie lost his battle. 💔In all the sadness, I'm so glad that he got the opportunity to be part of the @UMichFootball team for a short time & experience such joy. Sending love to his friends & family. #osteosarcoma Did you know that >20% of osteosarcomas may be hereditary?

Osteosarcoma sucks, but this is amazing. So incredibly heartwarming. #GoBlue

For those interested, sounds like the recording of "New Report Examines Diversity in the Human Genetics and Genomics Workforce" will be available soon to view on genome.gov

Great Webinar @NHGRI_Director @NHGRI @HeatherZierhut @GeneticCouns @ChazemanJackson @GeneticsSociety @Marc_GeneDoc @TheACMG @VenceBonham on collaborating towards diversifying the genetics workforce. Shout outs to @minoritygenetic & @GOLDENDNA2! @GCs4Change #GCChat #ToBeContinued

@doublehelixTAT @CarrieBlout @GeneticCouns I agree that certification should be based on competencies but introducing more quizzes could also create inequities, especially from #geneticcounselors from marginalized communities...

@CarrieBlout @kamiws @GeneticCouns that’s a fair concern. The Education Committee is trying to address it with our Learning Assessment Subcommittee that writes and/or reviews quiz questions used for CEUs so we hopefully avoid other experiences like yours!

Is it even an NSGC meeting if the online chat is not filled with "what is the code" rather than meaningful content questions?🤣.... #NSGC22

@AgrawalPB_lab @BenjaminSolomo2 @GeneDx @HereAtMonica @HeidiRehm @BCHNewbornMed The way info is presented is important. Families should have right to decline w informed consent, but declination may be less likely if testing is "recommended." I.e. Your care team strongly recommends this. This is why... FYI, when doing this test, you should be aware that...

We need to consent families for #exome/#genome sequencing in the #NICU but not for CMA or panels. Often families refuse depriving of the diagnosis and making management challenging. Thoughts on this issue? @BenjaminSolomo2 @genedx @HereAtMonica @HeidiRehm @BCHNewbornMed

Today is Genetic Counselor Awareness Day 2022! Help advance the profession by supporting #AccesstoGCs, a bill that would authorize CGCs as healthcare providers. Retweet if you support GCs in healthcare! bit.ly/304jwUT #IAmAGeneticCounselor #GeneChat #HR2144 #S1450

Happy #GeneticCounselorAwarenessDay! It's an incredible profession (I know I'm biased) & I look forward to its future evolution. I hope for more diversity with more equitable training & certification. And let's soon celebrate #GCAppreciationDay instead. #IAmAGeneticCounselor

Newly-certified CGCs attending #NSGC22 in-person OR virtually are eligible. GCs who attended the AC as a student are also eligible to participate. But #NSGC22 must be the first conference you're attending where you can earn CEUs. Feel free to DM for more info!

I’m seeking a few genetic counselors attending #NSGC22 to participate in a qualitative research study about professional identity formation. If this is your first AC as a CGC, please consider signing up! #GeneChat ncsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_54…

@doublehelixTAT Wonderful news, @doublehelixTAT! Just in time for the #NSGCAC2022. Hope you have great @GeneticCouns recruitment! #GeneChat

Great news! I passed my dissertation proposal defense! So I am able to start recruiting for my research related to genetic counselor professional identity. Please help me out by sharing my next tweet with eligible folks! #GeneChat

@kalenevane gave a wonderful presentation today representing #geneticcounselors well at the @VHLAlliance's #VHLsymposium2022 summarizing her #geneticcounseling research on psychosocial impacts of cancer surveillance on children and adolescents: nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%… #GeneChat

This could not make me happier! Cheers to a more "patient-focused, equitable, and collaborative" @myriadgenetics @MyrWomensHealth
