Most genetic counselors have backgrounds in biology, genetics, nursing, psychology, public health and social work. Genetic counselors are expert educators, skilled in translating the complex language of genomic medicine into terms that are easy to understand by the layperson.

Genetic counselors work as members of a health care team and act as a patient advocate as well as a genetic resource to physicians. They provide helpful information and support to families who have members with birth defects or genetic disorders, or are at risk for a variety of inherited conditions.
