Overview

The Genetic Counseling Specialist II at Children's Mercy plays a crucial role in gathering essential information to facilitate diagnosis and counseling for conditions influenced by genetic factors. This position involves providing insights on recurrence risks, prognosis, and the natural progression of disorders in partnership with a clinical geneticist. Additionally, the specialist may educate various groups, including patients, community organizations, and students, particularly those in graduate and professional programs. The Genetic Counseling Specialist II is also responsible for independently developing, organizing, and leading educational and administrative initiatives within the Medical Genetics section. The key distinction between a Genetic Counseling Specialist I and II lies in the ability of the latter, certified by the American Board of Genetic Counseling, to operate with greater autonomy and assume a broader range of responsibilities. Furthermore, the Genetic Counseling Specialist II is expected to have successfully contributed to research projects and supervised learners, including medical students and genetic counseling trainees.
