As a Genetic Counseling Assistant with Geisinger, I split my time equally between our prenatal genetics clinic and patient-centered research projects. In clinic, I disclose negative and low risk results, triage and schedule patients referred to prenatal genetics, collect family histories, and complete pedigrees for intake. I also communicate with external laboratories, complete genetic testing requisition forms, coordinate test specimen collection kits for patients, and track results. In research, I work with both Lynch syndrome patients as well as clinicians to identify the clinical and patient-centered issues, gaps, barriers and priorities for Lynch syndrome tumor screening programs.
