What is a genetic counselor and is it expensive to see one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Masters Degree: Genetic counselors go through 2 years of postgraduate studies to learn about genetic diseases and how to discuss them with affected patients and their families. They are very helpful and not very expensive.
