Summer rotation allows youto take on the role of genetic counselor at a comfortable pace and provides deep appreciation
for the clinical, research and administrative capacities of the genetic counselor.
Students often choose unique settings which allow them to experience a new area of
the country or even travel to another country.
My summer rotation provided an exciting clinical experience working in a healthcare
system in a part of the country that I had never been before. The experiences I had
in Dallas, Texas, proved to be invaluable throughout my training and growth as a genetic
counselor.

During the summer between your first and second year, you'll have the opportunitiy
to experience six weeks of full-time clinical work at a site either in the US or interntationally.
Our students have used these opportunities to gain contacts in the industry, earn
full-time positions upon graduation and find a city they could see themselves both
living in and working in.
Your six-week summer rotation will count towards two credits of the overall, 54-hour
curriculum and can be found in the course catalog as HGEN 750. Your rotation will
take place following completion of the two-credit May session at the very conclusion
of your first Spring Semester on campus.
