University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) Genetic Counseling Rotation

The Division of Genetics and Metabolism proudly participates with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) genetic counseling program. Multiple genetic counseling students each year rotate at our site for a rigorous but rewarding clinical experience. Students will work with a diverse team of clinical geneticists, genetic counselors, metabolic dieticians and nurse practitioners. During their rotation, students have the opportunity to counsel individuals and families with common and rare genetic conditions, receive exposure to the metabolism clinic and mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) conditions, learn about the newborn screen program, and shadow the multidisciplinary Angelman/Duplication 15q syndrome clinics.
