We are now half way through our winter quarter and things are getting busy. Second years are applying for graduation and finishing up with their thesis. First years are starting to define thesis projects and are taking on roles in clinic. Also, we are getting so excited to participate in another year of interviews for next year’s class of 2014. In just a few short weeks the process will start and we are very excited to make the interviewees feel welcome and provide a great experience here at CCHMC. In addition to interviews, the genetic counseling program is having two exciting new events coming up this summer.
First, DNA Sample Day: An Introduction to the Field of Genetic Counseling is being held from 8am to 3pm on June 15,2012. This program is geared towards those interested in learning more about the genetic counseling profession, but due to location or lack of opportunity, some are not able to get exposed to what a genetic counselor does. Members of the profession as well as the program will be there, and there is more information on the program website at: http://geneticcounseling4u.org/prospective_students/DNA%20Sample.html
Another exciting event coming up is the University of Cincinnati Genetic Counseling Program’s 30th Anniversary! Events will be held June 15th and 16th 2012. Events such as a celebration dinner and events around University of Cincinnati and the city will be held. More information can be found out about this as well on the program website.
So, the program is staying busy and has an exciting few months coming up! Stay posted for more updates.
