“My experience with Advocate Genetics has been crucial and fundamental for my journey into genetic counseling. I have felt support throughout my time here at Advocate and the knowledge I have gained about reproductive genetics has been astounding. As someone who does not have much access to genetic counseling in my state, having this remote internship opportunity allowed me to network with other pre-GC students and genetic counselors in a way I wouldn't have otherwise. I would recommend this program to others in similar positions, especially if you are interested in looking at reproductive genetic counseling with an equity and accessibility lens.”
