Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Micro-Credential)

  • Patient and family medical histories — collect and document through structured interviews and electronic medical record review under clinical supervisor guidance.
  • Basic genetic laboratory results — interpret with reference materials and communicate preliminary findings to supervising genetic counselors in a clinical setting.
  • Genetic testing options — describe available modalities, associated risks, benefits, and limitations to patients and families using scripted educational materials under direct oversight.
  • Pedigree construction tools and medical software — use to organize family history data and identify preliminary inheritance patterns in a hospital-based genetics clinic.
  • Genetic consultation reports — draft initial versions of written summaries covering identified risk factors for review and revision by a supervising counselor.
  • Risk assessment frameworks — apply standard protocols to identify individuals or families potentially at risk for common hereditary disorders under structured mentorship.
  • Counseling sessions — participate as a co-counselor to observe and practice delivering information, education, and emotional reassurance to patients and families.
  • Genetics and counseling literature — review assigned peer-reviewed sources to inform treatment plan discussions and build foundational scientific knowledge.
  • Clinical specialty rotations — engage in supervised genetics practice across obstetrics, pediatrics, oncology, or neurology to develop exposure across domains.
  • Active listening and social perceptiveness skills — demonstrate during patient interactions by reflecting patient concerns accurately back to the supervising counselor for validation.
