Welcome to MAGC

What is a genetic counselor?

Genetic Counselors bring unique knowledge and skills to health care as they provide information and support to families who have members with birth defects or genetic disorders and to families who may be at risk for a variety of inherited conditions.   Genetic Counselors generally work as members of a health care team in collaborative relationships with clinical geneticists, and other physicians, as well as other allied healthcare professionals.

What is the MAGC?

Michigan genetic counselors had met as an informal group for over fifteen years.  In 2006, the Michigan Association of Genetic Counselors, Inc. was formally incorporated.  In 2008, the MAGC became a state chapter of the National Society of Genetic Counselors.  With these two important changes, the MAGC is positioned to serve as the recognized, leading advocate of quality genetic counseling services in Michigan.
