UNCG Genetic Counseling Graduate Program

Our first and second year students had the opportunity to attend NCMGA!🧬 The North Carolina Medical Association biannual meeting was a great opportunity for education, and students got to participate in a collaborative environment of practitioners, students, and researchers.

Second-year student, Kelly, got to present her capstone research, “Evaluating the Efficiency of Population Genetic Screening for CDC Tier 1 Conditions in GeneConnect Study Participants”. Let’s go Kelly! 🎉

Amidst the busyness of upcoming finals and graduation, a much needed time was spent at a Greensboro Grasshoppers baseball game! Go Grasshoppers 🟠🟢
