Program: Genetic Counselling
The field of genetic counselling aligns well with my values and interests. I had always wanted a career in which I could help people directly, while continuing to learn in the scientific realm. What made genetic counselling a great fit is that I am consistently being intellectually and emotionally challenged and stimulated to continue maturing as a professional and as an individual.

There is a lot to do in our program and it can be overwhelming. I would suggest taking a moment to reflect and focus on what makes the work satisfying for you. As well, to make use of the supportive community around you, including your classmates and the program leadership.

I’m looking forward to finding a suitable position and to continue developing as a “fully-fledged” genetic counsellor.
