MASTER’ S PROGRAM IN GENETIC COUNSELING Iprd. med. fsu. edu / masters-in-genetic-counseling
This program represents IPRD’ s education and training mission and is expected to welcome its inaugural class in the fall of 2027. The program will train and prepare genetic counselors who are skilled, compassionate and committed to providing expert guidance to individuals and families navigating the complexities of genetic information regarding rare diseases.
Precision medicine for genetic disorders relies on scientific advances in genomics, and patients and their families are increasingly called upon to navigate the complexities of genetic information to make informed decisions about treatment options. Genetic counselors play a key role in helping patients understand the genetic causes of their diseases and help patients and their families make informed decisions about genetic conditions and treatment options.
