| I have often said over the last 27 years that genetic counselling has not just been a job for me but a passion and this is as strong today as it was when I started my first job as a genetic counsellor in September 1983. Growing up in St. John’s, NL in a very large family with two brothers and eight cousins affected with Retinoblastoma probably set the stage for my career as a genetic counsellor. Through my own life experience I became intimately associated with the needs experienced by individuals dealing with the reality, management, treatment, and reproductive risk inherent with genetic disease. |
