Evelyn Ramirez
During her graduate studies in Genetic Counseling at the University of Pennsylvania, Evelyn completed a two-month clinical rotation at the Clinic. While at the Clinic, she participated in clinical visits with new patients and communicated genetic results for their rare disorder.
“My rotation at the Clinic for Special Children provided a unique opportunity to work with a diverse population. I gained invaluable skills in tailored communication, empathetic counseling, and the importance of cultural sensitivity in genetic counseling. By developing these skills, I am better equipped to work with diverse populations, fostering trust and effective communication, which are essential for providing high-quality genetic counseling services. This experience has solidified my commitment to advocating for equitable access to genetic counseling and working towards a more inclusive and equitable healthcare system.”
