What to Expect
At the end of your first year in the genetic counseling program, you can apply for admission to the MA in Bioethics and Medical Humanities program. We’re selective, so you know your classmates take their studies as seriously as you do. You’ll take courses such as clinical applications of bioethics in genetic counseling, in addition to your clinical ethics rotations. You’ll also determine a research project to pursue that focuses on genetic research or includes the ethical, legal or social implications of genetic counseling practice, clinical genetics or genomics.
If you want to gain international experience, you can study abroad while taking bioethics and medical humanities courses. Students have gone on trips to Paris, France; Granada, Spain and many other locations to understand the intersection of culture and bioethics.
