Genetic Counselor Assistant (Gca)
As a genetic counselor assistant (GCA) at I collaborated closely with an amazing team of genetic counselors to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care to individuals and families affected by cancer. I constructed pedigrees, managed patient records, and facilitated genetic testing by handling test requisitions and specimen kit shipments. Additionally, I served as a liaison between patients and genetic counselors, offering empathetic support and answering queries to ensure a positive patient experience. This position provided me the opportunity to witness the transformative impact of genetic counseling on patients' lives and gain valuable insights into the intricate world of genetics, healthcare, and the importance of compassionate communication.
