We are deeply committed to enhancing the knowledge and skills of genetic counselors through initiatives for genetic counselors, students, providers, and the community. By focusing on education, we aim to empower genetic counselors with the tools they need to excel in their field and deliver high-quality care.

Through our initiatives, SCGCS creates a supportive and connected community where genetic counselors can thrive professionally and personally, ultimately leading to improved care for the patients and communities they serve. Our initiatives extend to welcome aspiring genetic counselors in the state.

We advocate for genetic counselors and patients by improving access to genetic counseling, raising awareness about genetic disorders, and providing connections to support resources for those affected by genetic conditions. We provide information, education, and encouragement for the rare disease community.

SCGCS provides a variety of resources to support genetic counselors in their practice, including access to research, best practices, and tools to uphold high standards in genetic counseling practice. This includes sharing information on job opportunities, professional development, and networking.
