  • Not just for genetic counsellors!

    This podcast highlights important topics in genetic counselling; however, these topics are also extremely relevant for other health professionals. There is much to be gleaned from the papers discussed that can be applied to various healthcare settings, not just genetic counselling.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#28-Predictive testing in ALS: How do patients make decisions?
Q: What do you see as the single most important change in genetic counseling practices from these findings?
Post-test, ongoing, tailored support is crucial so individuals can interpret and integrate results over time, which is especially critical in a context of uncertainty and progressive disease.
#28-Predictive testing in ALS: How do patients make decisions?
Q: Why was a qualitative interview approach important for this research?
Qualitative interviews capture nuanced, lived experiences and information needs that numbers alone cannot explain, helping reveal how people view testing, counseling, and decision-making throughout their journeys.
#28-Predictive testing in ALS: How do patients make decisions?
Q: What makes MND a uniquely challenging context for predictive testing?
MND involves complex, uncertain information with rapid advances in research, overlapping genetics with other neurodegenerative conditions, and significant family implications, all of which create layered uncertainty for patients that influences decision-making.
Bonus- Questions with the Editor of Journal of Genetic Counseling
Q: What is the role of office hours and direct editor support for authors?
Office hours provide direct support to help with study design, respond to reviewers, and reduce the sense of a 'black box' around publishing.
Bonus- Questions with the Editor of Journal of Genetic Counseling
Q: What happens when reviewers disagree or when a revision is needed?
The editor weighs all reviews, sometimes brings in a tiebreaker, and a revise-and-resubmit path is common to improve the manuscript before acceptance.
