This course will provide students with an in-depth introduction to a pediatric genetics-counseling session, including diagnostic processes and assessment and exposure to a natural history of common and complex genetic conditions, through course-long case scenario examples. Client and family factors will be incorporated into such cases, allowing for the student to assume responsibility for their assigned client and experience the life of a pediatric genetics case from beginning to end. Course structure will include lecture, group discussion, and case presentation.
