Thank you for posting this! I am preparing for interviews so this is amazing 👏 I would love if you would make a video on how to discuss gc's discuss genetic related disability/how to talk to parents about pre-natal screening findings for condition like down syndrome
You're welcome! I hope your prep is going well! Be sure to check out my other interview prep videos! Do you just mean how GC's offer and explain prenatal testing and what it tests for or how a GC would go over results with a patient who is found to be at an increased risk to have a baby with Down syndrome?
@@katieleecgctalksgeneticcou6248 more the latter! From what I know, programs can ask students scenario question like how would you give news about a potential genetic condition to families in a informational but conscientious way.
Amazing! Wishing you so much luck on your interview this week! Let me know if you have any questions before or after your first one because I will be covering interview content this whole interview season!
These were really helpful in getting me to think about these ethical issues, thanks so much Katie! I had a question - for the first scenario, say the genetic counselor had a week before meeting this family (rather than 30 min), how different would the course of action have been? In my opinion, having more time might give room for the genetic counselor to meet with the mother one-to-one and non-judgementally inform her that in the event she had been with another partner, this might arise following the disclosure of results during post-test counseling. But on the other hand, I think it might also be a good idea to proceed with counseling the family as was discussed in the video (i.e. not to anything differently) so that the genetic counselor is not making any assumptions that the mother might have had another partner by calling her privately. I'm still an applicant and so my thought process could be heavily flawed. But I'd love to hear what you feel about this scenario. Thanks Katie! :)
Hi there! Thank you so much for this. Came at a perfect time. Prepping for an interview March 4th & this was the last component of the interview I was worried about. Just knowing what exactly to expect. Your videos have helped so much!
@@katieleecgctalksgeneticcou6248 I'll be interviewing with University of Alabama at Birmingham, I'm still waiting to hear from University of Texas Houston & University of South Carolina so hope to hear from them this week. I feel really prepared!
Amazing examples! Misattributed paternity is such a minefield. I recently learned that 6% of parents with a child with SMA due to homozygous deletions have negative carrier testing, and one of the causes is that 2% of individuals with SMA have a de novo deletion. 🤯 2%!!!
Thanks for watching, Shea! I brainstormed a bunch of ethical questions while I was prepping for this video, so I can definitely make a part 2 sometime soon.
@@katieleecgctalksgeneticcou6248 a part 2 would be SO helpful! and also addressing how to disclose difficult genetic testing results - maybe the prenatal screen example mentioned in a different comment about Down Syndrome
@@katieleecgctalksgeneticcou6248 Yay! Can't wait to watch. If there are any that you can remember that have been posed to you in a grad. school or job interview that would be helpful. And maybe too how to address group questions during an interview?
I know this video is old so you might not respond, but I had a question about the older patients IVF case example. I work as an andrologist at a fertility clinic currently and my clinic doesn't allow patients to transfer embryos to themselves if they're over 50, even if they're technically healthy. Is this something that's banned in only some states, or is this a clinic-specific rule?

@@AJ-sz4su Sure thing!

I'm interviewing at UAB on March 4th as well. But this week in 2022!!! Did you match somewhere???
@@jennaduzs3821 hey! I didn't and reapplied but haven't heard from everywhere yet.
@@sagehooten1812 aw sorry to hear that! Goodluck. My interview is in the morning!

6%!!!!!! And 2% de novo dels?! That is sooo highhh! ahhhh Great SMA fact of the day for me over here!
I love this! I would love to see more of this

There are no laws or bans on this in the US to my knowledge. I would say clinic or doctor specific.
