What is involved in becoming a genetic counselor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 years: Most gc programs are pretty difficult to get in to because they are small. You will actually take medical school classes like physiology but also intensive genetics courses. You will train with other gcs during internships. It is a rewarding occupation.
