What are the employment status and prospects of genetic counselors?
Up to now, gene counselors are basically self-styled, similar to the fact that after liberation, gods in some places in China claimed to be emperors and even awarded the title of empress. For example, I became a self-appointed health management consultant. In the long run, the prospect is broad, and so is Qian Jing, but that is after the development of precision medicine to a certain level. It's hard to say how long this process will take. UCSF at the University of California, San Francisco offers a certificate course for genetic consultants. Admission requirements are medical practitioners who have at least attended pre-medical or medical schools, which is equivalent to part of continuing education. If you get this diploma from UCSF, then the name of genetic consultant is not self-styled, it has a source. At present, the application of genetic science is not so common, and it is a rapidly developing field. It is not difficult to understand why people in Huada are soft on science and nature-relatively blank fields are easy to produce results. On the other hand, genetic counselors (it seems that genetic counselors should be a branch of genetic counseling) should take the lead in getting hot in Europe and America, and in terms of income, the medical payment methods in Europe, America and Japan also determine that there will be higher income-the current wage gap between Chinese and foreign surgeons is proof. At present, gene consultants mainly interpret gene sequencing reports, such as 23&; I and other commercial sequencing service providers are just a bunch of raw data after the sequencing report comes out, and what it means to the subjects needs to be translated by gene consultants. 23 & ampMe charges less, while the other two companies charge more for commercial testing. The fee includes the consulting fee of genetic consultant.
