Charles Venditti, M. Mission To provide an innovative and rigorous program of training in an inclusive and supportive environment that prepares genetic counselors to effectively, ethically, and compassionately serve the needs of their patients and communities. The Genetic Counseling Training Program at Emory University will transform students through a variety of scholarly and experiential activities into self-reflective genetic counselors who are leaders in the field and champions for the responsible and equitable incorporation of advances in genomic medicine.

We at the Emory Genetic Counseling Training Program are horrified by the recent murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor and recognize that this is unfortunately not a new problem in our society. We believe that Black Lives Matter and stand in solidarity with our Black students, colleagues, patients, and community members. We are committed to follow our words with concrete actions and sustained initiatives to confront systemic racism in our program, institution, profession, and community.
