What is a gene counselor?

▲ "Genetic Consultant" exam training program

With the rapid development of life science and gene technology, the gene industry is triggering a major revolution in modern medicine, which will fundamentally change the status quo of the medical and health industry. For example, a batch of new drugs recently approved by the FDA in the United States all emphasize the need for genotyping before use. In the future, as doctors or professionals engaged in medical and health services, they must have corresponding genetic knowledge and genetic counseling qualifications in order to provide services for patients. With the development of gene technology and pharmacogenomics, individualized medication, gene diagnosis and gene therapy will be a trend. Therefore, it is urgent to train gene consultants.

▲ Training objectives

1, master the basic knowledge, theory and skills of genetic counselors;

2. Correctly interpret the genetic test report for customers, analyze health risks, and guide customers to use drugs individually;

3. According to the results of the genetic test report, make personalized health management plan, personalized physical examination and prevention or treatment plan for customers;

4. Master the application of gene detection, analysis and diagnosis methods in academic and clinical;

5, the use of life science and genetic technology, improve the level of disease prevention and control, and the world's advanced medical technology.
