Clinical Geneticist

A Clinical Geneticist diagnoses and manages genetic disorders and conditions. You might work in hospitals, specialised clinics, or research institutions, focusing on assessing patients’ genetic information to provide accurate diagnoses and personalised treatment plans. You’ll conduct genetic testing, analyse results, and offer counselling to patients and families about the implications of genetic findings. You’ll collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care and contribute to research aimed at advancing genetic medicine.

Clinical Geneticists play a crucial role in the medical field, requiring a deep understanding of genetics and exceptional communication skills. You’ll need to be detail-oriented and empathetic, providing support and guidance to patients and their families throughout their genetic health journey.
