We are working together to build a trusted and high-quality education pathway for genetic counselors. Universities and hospitals across the Nordic countries are joining forces to ensure that up-to-date training is available and accessible in every nation.
This collaboration aims to establish a shared educational foundation and a recognized professional role that is accepted as part of healthcare systems across borders. By harmonizing education and standards, we can enhance professional mobility and strengthen expertise through a broad and connected network of specialists.
