Introduction to Vocational Training and Enrollment of Genetic Counselors
How to decrypt people's life, age, illness and death, how to judge whether some diseases are passed on to men or daughters, how to let parents with family genetic diseases have healthy children, how to let those children who are born with congenital diseases can be predicted or prevented in advance, or even avoid the disease no longer occurring, and make sure what medicine can be taken or not in this life.
With the improvement of people's health consciousness and the development of gene sequencing technology, there are more and more demands for people to learn genetic knowledge, master genetic technology, use advanced concepts and technologies of genetics to serve people's health and master the inherent law of individual life, age, illness and death. There is an urgent need for a large number of professionals engaged in genetic counseling to serve the public, and so are genetic counselors. Under the background, this is a noble profession, but also an urgent need to popularize the profession in China.
Some western countries have carried out genetic counseling training very early. Through training, genetic counseling practitioners can help people understand and accept information about genetic diseases in mind and in medical treatment. According to the counselors'personal and family history, the possibility of occurrence or recurrence of a genetic disease can be assessed, and counselors and their families can find appropriate management methods and reduce risks. 。
In order to improve the national health level and reduce the level of birth defects in China, in response to the State Council's "Opinions on Implementing a Lifelong Vocational Skills Training System", China National Training Network's "Genetic Counselor" vocational training project is sponsored by the National Project Management Office of Genetic Counselors of China National Training Network, and Zhongguancun Huakang Genetics Research Institute acts as the national training network's heredity. National training and assessment units of consultants carry out the promotion, enrollment and training of the "genetic consultants" vocational training project nationwide.
