Back to: Career Ideas COOL Career of the Month Archive Genetic Counselor Genetic counselors translate technical information about inherited health disorders into language that can be understood by the average person. They explain health disorders, the available options for testing for or treatments of these disorders, and the risks associated with these options. They also help patients come to terms with the emotional and psychological aspects of having an inherited disorder or disease. Prospects The field is expected to grow much faster than average. Scientific developments have created new opportunities for treatment and testing. These have in turn created an increased need for those who can help patients understand their options.
Qualifications:
Those interested must complete a two-year master's degree in genetic counseling. These studies typically include classes in counseling, clinical genetics, biochemistry, anatomy, and clinical medicine.
Characteristics
Genetic counselors wear two hats: they are scientists and they are counselors. As scientists, genetic counselors must be able to think critically. They must be intellectually curious and read constantly to stay abreast of the ever changing information in this field. As counselors, they must be compassionate and able to convey complex information clearly and concisely. They must be able to deliver unpleasant news gently but directly. Above all, members of this profession must be able to deliver information without trying to influence their patients' decisions.

    22 September, 2005 Four Careers From The Future By T.J. Snaith Ten years ago, a web designer probably had eight hairy legs and an appetite for flying insects . Doctors, on the whole, didn't spin much. Disk Jockeys were terminally uncool with their flashing disco lights and shonky old records. But in the decade since, web developers, spin doctors and superstar DJs have built the online world, transformed politics and revolutionised popular music. So, what new careers does the next century promise? Here are some ways your descendants will make a living... Careers in Genetic Modification Last February, the Human Genome Project published its final results. The molecular instructions folded into the DNA of every cell were decoded to reveal around 30,000 distinct genes. This achievement, which took well over a decade, was the biological equivalent of a moon landing. An enormous effort is now underway to figure out which part of the whole process each gene moderates in a living, breathing, growing body. What fits where and why, even in the simplest cell, is far from fully understood. However, it’s certain that dramatic growth in all branches of life sciences will occur as other species' genomes are unravelled alongside our own. What will these advances mean for people who just want to earn a living, honest or otherwise? Let's see...

    Revolutionary genetic technology requires a cautious approach
    Leading-edge of genetics
    Precautionary Principle

    David T. Suzuki Ph.D
    I am a geneticist by training. At one time in my career, I had one of the largest research grants and genetics labs in Canada. The time I spent in lab was one of the happiest periods of my life and I am proud of the contribution we made to science. My introductory book is still the most widely used genetics text in the world. Today, while I am no longer active as a researcher I follow genetics, including the debate over genetically modified food, with real interest and admiration. Advances in genetic insights and technological manipulative abilities have been breathtaking. I see undergraduate students performing lab exercises I never dreamt would be possible in my lifetime, and questions I never thought we'd be able to test are being answered. The ideas and experiments performed are ingenious and elegant and the results are of tremendous significance. So the excitement surrounding genetics is understandable, but that's all the more reason to reflect deeply before rushing to apply it. When I graduated as a geneticist in 1961, I was excited and full of enthusiasm and determined to make a mark. Back then we knew about DNA, genes, chromosomes and genetic regulation. But today when I tell students what our hot ideas were in '61, they choke with laughter. Viewed in 1999, ideas from 1961 seem hilarious. But when those students become professors years from now and tell their students what was hot in 1999, those students will be just as amused. At the cutting edge of scientific research, most of our ideas are far from the mark-wrong, in need of revision or irrelevant. That's not a derogation of science, it's the way science advances. We take a set of observations or data, set up a hypothesis that makes sense of them and then we test the hypothesis. The new insights and techniques we gain from this process are interpreted tentatively and liable to change, so any rush to apply them strikes me as downright dangerous.

    CHGR Mission
    The mission of the CHGR is to decipher the genetic basis of both rare and common human traits and to integrate this knowledge into better diagnostics, treatments, and preventions of human disease.
    Virtually all human traits result from an intricate interplay of multiple genes and environmental factors and this complexity is reflected in the diversity of our faculty. Our research integrates expertise at the clinical, molecular, and analytical levels represented by faculty in multiple departments and schools. We both develop and apply state-of-the-art methods to a large and diverse set of traits including neurological, cardiovascular, ophthalmological, and endocrine diseases and cancer. By providing critical and sophisticated core resources we have created a supportive atmosphere to aid all faculty at Vanderbilt in achieving our mission to improve health and health care. Under the direction of Dr. Jonathan L. Haines, the Vanderbilt Center for Human Genetics Research (CHGR) was initiated in January 2004 to dissect the genetic underpinnings of human traits. We will accomplish this overarching goal by providing a collaborative and stimulating research environment accessible to all Vanderbilt faculty. The CHGR activities can be divided into three areas: research, teaching, and service.

    Genetics careers in the NHS
    The NHS provides Clinical (or Medical) Genetics services throughout the UK, for diagnosis, counselling and in some cases treatment of patients and their families. This service relies on the skills of professionals in a variety of careers: medical paramedical and scientific . Summaries of these careers, and what training is involved, are given below along with links to further information.
    Medical and paramedical professionals
  • Clinical Geneticists
    Clinical Geneticists are medical doctors. After medical school, general professional training (3 to 5 years) in General Medicine and/or Paediatrics is required along with a post-graduate diploma (usually MRCP or MRCPCH). This is followed by competitive entry into a 4 year Specialist Registrar training post. These websites explain what Clinical Geneticists do

    Contact Us The Hampton Group has been focused on genetic research for the past 10 years. As members of the American Society of Human Genetics, we attend their national conference each year. To stay abreast of the field, we subscribe to a number of scientific publications and network on a daily basis with the foremost people in the field. As scientists rush forth to interpret the new genetic data, new methods, technologies and equipment are being developed with ever increasing frequency. Some of our recent placements have included guru's who are responsible for creating software to manage and interpret the newly mapped areas of the human genome to biochip developers charged with storing vast amounts of bioinformatics. We have placed people throughout the genetics field and life science arena. Our clients are the companies that develop life science products and use these products for research purposes. Whatever the genetic research approach - positional cloning - gene expression - enzyme discovery, proteomics - gene delivery - microarray, we know the people leading genetic research to new success. We also work actively with the companies rushing to create gene therapeutics to cure genetic diseases that heretofore, have not been treatable with much success; like cancer, Alzheimer's, cystic fibrosis, Parkinson's, etc.

    Without Geneticists, we would not have the answers to many questions such as why one person has blue eyes while another person has brown, why is the shape of a son’s hand very similar to the shape of his father’s hand, or why are some families more prone to cancer, Alzheimer’s, or other diseases? A Geneticist works in both scientific and medical fields in gaining a better understanding of mutation, cell growth, and reproduction.
    What is Genetics
    In summary, Genetics is the study of heredity, and ways in which traits are passed down from one generation to another. The role of a Geneticist is crucial to many things such as cancer research, cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer’s, unborn defects, and more for example. Geneticists are involved in unlocking many secrets of life, spending the majority of their time in a laboratory. Within this science, there are a number of different areas of study, which include:
  • Molecular Genetics (study of molecular processes underling gene function and structure) Evolutionary Genetics Transmission Genetics (study of genome modification through various, external applications such as DNA)

Genetics is a booming subject, and offers a wider range of job opportunities than many other areas of biology. Former Part 2 students and PhD students from the department are now in scientific positions in both the UK and world-wide. They hold academic positions in Oxford, Cambridge, the USA (Yale, California), the Pacific rim (Singapore and Papua New Guinea for example). They work often as research group leaders, for companies such as Unilever, ICI/Zeneca, Glaxo-Wellcome, Ciba-Geigy (Novartis), SmithKline Beecham and Celltech. Others have joined Cambridge area 'Start Ups'. Other science-related destinations have included publishing (e.g. Benjamin Lewin, editor of 'Cell' and author of the standard textbook 'Genes' ) and venture capital consultancy. Employment prospects are bouyant for Cambridge graduates in general. Part 2 Genetics provides an excellent training for those not wishing to continue in 'front-line' science. Many employers are realising that they require people with a good background knowledge of genetics and a broad scientific training, even for jobs that do not involve bench science. There are Part 2 geneticists doing well in Theatre management, the City, Law, Accountancy and Publishing.

    Introduction
    This page aims to begin to answer the question "What can I do with my degree ?" You should read it alongside the AGCAS Information Booklet Your Degree ....What Next ? which looks in more detail at career planning and graduate employment. At the bottom of this page are a number of links to other sites that might offer additional advice or information. Many of these are US based, so please check with a careers adviser as the situation in the UK may be different. In 1996 approximately 40% of genetics graduates went on to study for a higher degree, while almost half found employment. Of these, about half went into scientific work, which is of course the most direct way of using your degree Choosing a career involves more than just finding out about what is open to you as a graduate in genetics. Knowledge about yourself is central to the process. It is valuable to start by looking at your individual values, interests, motivations, abilities and skills in order to relate career options to you.
