Post by DRBABU »

HI,
I AM A Ph.D IN ENTOMOLOGY AND HAVING UNDERTAKEN MOLECULAR BIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES COURSE IN Ph.D PROGRAMME. NOW I WANT TO BECOME A GENETIC COUNCELLOR. I ORGANISE AND COORDINATE PATIENTS WHO ARE RECOMMENDED FOR GENETIC TESTS BY DOCTORS. I HAVE SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE ON GENETIC DISEASE BUT DO NOT POSSES ANY CERTIFICATE OR DEGREE ON GENETIC COUNCELLING.
