Genetic Counseling Practicum 1

School of Medicine

Genetic Counseling Practicum 1 is part of a Genetic Counseling Practicum series that provides students the opportunity to integrate knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSAs) of genetic counseling in a clinical setting. This series utilizes the RIME framework (Reporter, Interpreter, Manager, Educator), which is a framework used frequently in medical education to set expectations for student performance throughout their clinical training. Within the RIME framework, the goal of this course is to consistently demonstrate the reporter level skills learned from their Pre-Practicum Course (GC7510), and integrate skills from the Interpreter level approximately 50% of the time in various practice domains. As part of this course, students will work through a weekly Integrated case in addition to attending Case Conference, in which students will present and discuss clinical cases. Depending on the clinic, students may also attend clinical case conferences or other meetings. Prerequisite: GC7510
