Ask a Genetic Counselor Forum
As a healthcare professional, you are already aware that the information collected from genetic testing can significantly improve the quality of care and increase the personalization of treatment you provide your patients. The future of genetic testing is now, but how do you sort through the science, the terminology and the insights to better understand how genetics and genetic testing not only impacts your patients but also your practice? Join your LUGPA colleagues for our Ask a Genetic Counselor Forum, where a Certified Genetic Counselor will provide education and answer the questions you have. Discuss challenges, opportunities and controversies related to testing and the impact it can have on ordering physicians, patients and their families. Tuesday, September 14, 2021; 5pm ET - Patient Privacy, Informed Consent, and Liability.
