medical and bout the genetic disorders. They inform the people who are at risk
of getting these genetic disorders. They can also provide genetic testing, they
can help investigate families and see why they were determined with genetic
disorders, they can figure all this out by looking back at their families’
background.

involve science and mathematics. A strong undergraduate background in biology,

I would probably like to be a
genetic counselor because, I like communicating well within people and especially
if they have problems I like hearing them out and help them out.
