| Popis: | The profession of genetic counseling in France was recognized in 2004, based on the recommendations of a mandate commissioned by the Health Minister to explore the medical demographics of France. The report predicted a shortage of health professionals in the field of genetics, particularly in light of the rapid development of molecular testing. Development of the profession was supported by a legal framework, and today 107 genetic counselors have graduated from the specific educational program which awards the Professional Master's Degree of Human Pathology, entitled Master in Genetic Counseling and Predictive Medicine. Here we will trace the development of the profession in France and review the demographic characteristics of the students and genetic counselors practicing the profession today. |
