Welcome to the Class of 2027! Our 8th cohort includes 10 students from 8 different states. We are excited to welcome all of you to campus in August! #GeneChat #FutureGC #ProspectiveGC #GCstudents #GeneticCounseling

We're grateful for these opportunities to increase understanding of the #mitochondrialdisease patient journey amongst healthcare professionals. Here's what Daniel Riconda, MS, CGC, from @bcmhouston had to say about a recent collaboration with @bcmgcprogram.

Dan Riconda recently visited The Chinese University of Hong Kong to provide teaching on genetic counseling-related topics, including genetic testing, utilizing various psychosocial skills, and constructing pedigrees. Great work, Dan! #BCMGCprogram #GeneticCounseling
