I literally watch this video once a month b/c it has been my DREAM for over 5 years to become a genetic counselor. I am going to be the best GC in my state one day! (: thank you, Jaclyn for inspiring me!
Hopefully we don't live in the same state because I also dream of becoming the best gc;)
nice bro good luck
did you become one?
This needs more views. Genetic counseling is so important!
That’s why I’m here lmao
I love her! She seems like a kind and sweet person.
My wife is a Masters in Genetics completed in 2004 and never realised this field has a career. Rather after her Masters she completed her Masters in Computers and persue the career in Information technology as Software Engineer...Now i think after she should try a career as A counsellor ...its never too late to start any career
Wow! You blow me away. I had genetic testing 15 years ago for breast cancer and was blessed to have Shodair here. How big was the audience for this? It needs to be bigger!
This is definitely the career path I want to pursue. I’ve worked in cardiology department for almost 10 years and with my experience through patients and of my own I’ve seen the importance of genetic testing and what it can do to change the role of healthcare moving forward.
This field is so crucial and necessity for humans. It's so unfortunately many don't know about it. Is it because they don't know about it or is it due to ignorance?!.. personally I didn't it know about genetic counseling and it's importance untill my fourth year of study as a counseling psychologist
In some situations. Counselors are faced with a very heart breaking situation in which she must say to a family, "Your Son/Daughter has Tay-Sachs disease. A rare but present disorder that is usually fatal by age three to five.
"The goal of genetic counseling is to promote patient autonomy." - Whelp I"m sold. Switching majors right now.
cool story especially at the end. Sad but definitely shows how important genetic testing is becoming in diagnostics. Exciting advances!
Way to go Jaclyn !!!!You do us proud.
Wow, I love this! I really do want to go back to school for this so this has helped further my decision.
I've been considering this career for a while. I'm considering it more now.
Thank you for sharing ...food for thought
It always blows my mind that some people die very soon after a cancer diagnosis. I always tend to think that most people catch symptoms early and if they're keen enough, get checked out and treated before the cancer becomes a problem. I am reminded of situations like these where a person can have stage 4 cancer and limited symptoms only to die a month after diagnosis. Is it possible for a person to die of cancer before they have symptoms or with no symptoms at all?
Yes, there is a concept called "pre-symptom window" in clinical medicine. Moreover, Precision medicine is the next-generation medicine in our life time.
genetic testing is important for ADPKD, HOCM
My genetic counsellor was useless! My husband, his father and grandfather all died suddenly of cardiac arrest and despite two gene mutations she refused to genetically test my children even though those mutations were autosomal dominant. Ridiculous.
I am extremely sorry for your loss!
😮so sorry
If you do a 23 and me type DNA test, does it provide the same information on likelihood of cancers, etc.?
I want to get into this career one day. But... I'm nearly 32 and just now enrolling to work towards my associates degree to become a nuclear medicine technologist. I felt this would be the best choice on the full journey due to the income being relatively the same same for 1/3 less classroom time. Then I can pay my way through the rest of the schooling I need to do with my income while still being able to maintain my mortgage and utilities etc.
How’s it been going? I’ve been thinking of doing something similar
@@CarlosPerez-bb7fk it takes much longer and more than I thought. Essentially an associates then 2 years of being fully dedicated to the program which I am not willing to do with a mortgage and vehicle to take care of. Because you can't work while doing it. I'm not living off debt. So I stuck with trucking and got a large raise since this post of over 15%. So yeah.
@@mizomint4197 thanks for the info!
Omg is she the voice for the Amoeba sisters biology channel?
😯 I dont know.
:0
I love you Jaclyn haven
Maam your voice 😍
What is genetic test?is this can show if you have disease?
yes or if you have a risk of developing one e.g cancer, if your children are at risk depending on the parents' genetics and even detecting genetic disorders in a foetus before its born
Eventhough she's a little bit nerveous, but her talk quite interesting
I really just want a job, not a useless masters degree... I mean you guys are saying Ima get a job, but is this really true?
It's the masters degree which requires the most work. As far as jobs though, there are literally not enough genetic counselors practicing today that are around to keep up with the absurd demand. The number of jobs increases by 20% twenty-freaking-percent every year and some places post genetic counselor positions that lie years in wait before they're filled. It's very abundant
I want her genes to pass on my children.
Ok but the question is did Jaclyn receive permission to share Mary's story? Otherwise it wouldn't comply with HIPAA regulations
She probably did since I don't think TED Talk would let her commit a crime on their platform or if they found out afterward keep the video up.
She most likely changed Mary's name and fudged some of the details of her case.
Doublelift !?
She is beautiful
Idk about that but the girl seems pretty😏
فقدان الأصل من هاتفي
أسوء شيء التحديث
Dear god girl drink a glass of water before you go on. Your talk was so interesting but I missed half of it between gasps and mouth smacking
She’s a terrible public speaker. Her shaky voice distracted from the topic
Pretty sure most people get nervous when in front of a group of people. Maybe you have a genetic predisposition that causes you to be a horrible person.
She is alright
Can't believe you said that she did great!!! You're just an unhappy person.
And you are a terrible person ...
Merrylinkle yep if I didn’t have a true interest she would have lost me a long time ago.
