Our goal is 10 prepare program graduates to provide high quality client-centered, culturally competent care, contribute to the advancement of knowledge and improved care through research, create new interdisciplinary niches, incorporate available genomic discoveries into practice, and serve as leaders in the genetic counseling field. The graduate program in Genetic Counseling was established in 1981 as an interdiseiplinary program offering the M.S. degree. The program is administratively based at the University of Cincinnati in the College of Medicine. Faculty members within the program hold appointments in a variety of disciplines within the University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, This two-year course of study is directed toward the M.S. degree in Medical Genetics. The program is currently accredited through 2021 by the Accreditation Couneil for Genetic Counseling, ‘The graduate program design includes basic science coursework in molecular, human and medical genetics, embryology, teratology, biostatistics and epidemiology. Additional courses train students in counseling, interviewing, and cultural competence. Students carry a clinical caseload throughout the two-year period. Clinical experiences are obtained by participation in numerous clinics in the Division of Human Genetics at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, in genetic disease specialty clinics at the Academic Health Center, and in clinics based at local affiliate hospitals. In addition, a seven-week internship at another genetics center is required during the summer between the first and second years. Upon graduation, students are eligible to apply for certification by the American Board of Genetic Counseling. The graduate program also provides instruction and experience in conducting independent research. A master's thesis research project is required. Public presentation of the research work is required and a written manuscript for publication is the desired outcome of the student thesis project. Students concentrate on coursework and gaining clinical skills during the first year while beginning a research project under the supervision of a research advisor. Decreased emphasis is placed on coursework during the second year to allow the student to concentrate on research and clinical activities. The training environment is academically rich. Students participate in professional activities such as journal club, ease conference and invited lectures/workshops. In addition, students gain teaching experience both in the community and on campus. Genetic counseling graduate stuclents will be treated as professionals and are expected to conduct themselves with professionalism throughout the training period. Students who keep to these standards will learn more from the training experience and will contribute to improving and strengthening the program and the genetic counseling field. facts & figures 2016 3 | RESEARCH & CLINICAL ACHIEVEMENTS Cincinnati Children’s’ + Significant published research advanced insights into autoimmune disease, brain tumors, DNA and protein complexes, bariatric weight-loss surgery, sickle cell disease, heart function, and asthma.
