Next Chapter: A Career in Genetic Counseling

Patient Stories with Grey Genetics

Eleanor first interviewed Abigail in 2019 when she was still a second year genetic counseling student. Abigail shared the story of her diagnosis of Wilson Disease and how it led her to a career in genetic counseling. She has now been a genetic counselor for over four years. Second year genetic counseling student Kelsey Crocker interviewed Abigail for the first of the Patient Stories Next Chapter interviews, where we check back in with previous guests on Patient Stories to hear how their stories have continued to unfold.
