Abstract
Genetic counseling students were surveyed to determine their career research goals and interest in pursuing advanced degrees, and genetic counseling program directors were surveyed to assess the climate for research training within their programs. A substantial number (46%) of genetic counseling students are interested in performing research in their careers. Many (40%) would pursue a doctoral degree in genetic counseling if it was available. Students and directors from programs with a thesis requirement reported a significantly higher emphasis on career research preparation than those from programs without a thesis requirement. The results of this study indicate that future genetic counselors are interested in contributing to the research base that will advance the field. The study provides justification for strengthening research training and the development of a doctoral degree in genetic counseling.
