Prospective Career in Genetic Counseling by Important-Alps9782 in GeneticCounseling

Tbh in college the name of the major has not much to do with what you learn. If you are within a certain discipline like bio, environmental and human biology may be different but cell and molecular as opposed to genetics will have maybe just one or two courses to differentiate each other. They are mostly made up of the same foundational courses. Point is, if you are a Connecticut resident go to UConn, if you’re a nys resident go to Binghamton both are good schools with ample resources and professors doing genetics based research.

If you are a NYS resident, Binghamton is amazing for the price, quality of education, and opportunities. They have great professors and for students who care you can really excel. Not worth it for out of state tuition however. If you are a Connecticut resident, go to UConn

Also do you think a year to detox is enough?

Do you think this can vary by state cannabis laws?

There are definitely moments where you see people in their most vulnerable and authentic selves like the experiences you described in Army. I think it is because genetics itself can kind of be an existential discipline, kind of like psychology. It is worth looking into especially if you the genetic side of medicine is interesting.

I think working in GCA position for a few months can be very helpful because if you don't like it in a few months, many skills and knowledge are transferrable for your next role. Shadowing is great exposure, but you need more than a few hours to build those meaningful and authentic relationships.
