Intern stories
Molly Lombard, Corewell Health
What projects did you take part in during your internship?
I was given a genetic counselor at Spectrum Health as my mentor and she organized my time throughout the semester. She ensured that I was able to visit and/or interview every specialty of counselors within the Spectrum system including biochemical, prenatal, pediatric, and cancer. She also set up days where we would both read a journal that is relevant to genetic counseling currently and then we would discuss it. Throughout my time as their intern I would be able to prepare for a genetic counseling session as if I were the genetic counselor and within the session I would take notes and a pedigree as if I were the counselor. My mentor and I would then discuss our thoughts and talk about the patient’s options for testing.
