Join us for the GCR Connect End of Year Showcase 2024.
GCR Connect is a network of Genetic Counsellors working in research roles across Australasia and beyond. Established in July 2022, GCR Connect offers Genetic Counsellors with a space to discuss the unique issues that arise in the research landscape, provides links to practical resources, and creates a supportive research Genetic Counselling network. This initiative has been endorsed by the Human Genetics Society of Australasia and is supported by both Australian Genomics and the Australasian Society of Genetic Counsellors.
Increasingly, Genetic Counsellors are moving to positions in academia and leading research studies to develop evidence-based practice across clinical genetics and genetic counselling. The GCR Connect End of Year Showcase has been curated to highlight some of the talented research Australasian Genetic Counsellors led in 2024. The showcase will comprise of several short presentations from GCR Connect members covering a range of topics. These presentations will highlight the diversity of skills Genetic Counsellors have to offer in the research space.
