Exome & General Genetics
This workshop is intended for any genetic counsellor interested in gaining a better understanding and confidence in the arenas of sales, marketing and some of the business aspects of an industry-based genetic counselling role. Three laboratory genetic counsellor speakers will highlight core skills that genetic counsellors possess that translate well to these types of industry roles, and will offer practical tips for genetic counsellors to keep in mind when negotiating a job offer in this industry. A small group activity will also occur, during which group leaders will help discuss sample industry job postings with participants.
