I'm Katie Lee Hornberger, a multi-state licensed, certified genetic counselor with 7+ years of reproductive genetic counseling experience. I've worked in a clinic setting, a lab setting, and in multiple industry roles including a start-up and a small business where I was the first and only GC on staff. I love the field of reproductive genetic counseling and helping people grow their families, but beyond that I also enjoy teaching and training current GC students.

My vision for this channel is to inspire aspiring genetic counselors by providing insights into the career and application process. My hope is that by making information on genetic counseling widely available and showing a friendly genetic counselor face, a more diverse set of applicants will be inspired to explore a career in genetic counseling.

On Wannabe Wednesday I post content on the application process including tips on editing your CV, personal statement, and how to answer grad school interview questions. Beyond that I demystify common questions about genetic counseling like how much do you get paid and whether or not genetic counseling is a stressful career. If this content sounds interesting to you, please subscribe to my channel and ring the notification bell! While other GCs have monetized application help, I am committed to sharing lots of tips for free so you don't want to miss out.

Today's video is going to be a quick one! Today I am giving a quick demo of my newest digital download. I have been advising GC hopefuls for a long time and creating free content on this channel for about a year and a half. Over this time I have heard from so many potential applicants to genetic counseling school who just don't know where to begin. You can find loads of free, detailed videos to help you navigate each step of the application process on my channel and on my blog, KatieLeecgc.com

I created The Bird's Eye View Guide to the Genetic Counseling Application Process to help people who are considering a career in genetic counseling and beginning to explore what is required to apply. This guide is designed to walk you through the timeline for a genetic counseling program (GCP) application cycle and to provide resources to strengthen your application materials and draw attention to your unique strengths and skills.

This digital download guide includes 15 pages packed with information, tips, and links to additional resources. You will also find checklists and spaces to include notes as you work through the guide and application cycle. It is best utilized on a tablet in a note taking app like GoodNotes. Topics included in this guide include crafting your personal statement and CV, identifying genetic counseling professional development opportunities, advocacy, and counseling roles, requesting letters of recommendation, exploring and researching genetic counseling programs and more.
