JOB POSTINGS: INSTRUCTIONS FOR EMPLOYERS

Genetic counselors are master’s-trained healthcare professionals specialized in the process of helping people understand and adapt to the medical, psychological, and familial implications of genetic contributions of disease. Board certification is available and is generally required to work as a genetic counselor.

Currently, there are just over 5,000 certified genetic counselors in the United States (1). At times, there are more job openings available than genetic counselors to fill them. According to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics, employment of genetic counselors is projected to grow 27 percent from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations (2).
