What is a Genetic Counselor?

A Genetic Counselor is trained in not only genetics, but also psychology. These counselors tend to have a masters degree in genetic counseling. They also have to be certified by the American Board of Genetic Counseling. Genetic Counselors can now specialize in a certain area, one of these being cancer. Counselors will discuss information on the disease, test taking risks and benefits, risks, and a good support help.
