National Allied Health Professions Week 2024 will be celebrated Nov. 3 to Nov. 10. At Baylor College of Medicine, the next generation of nurse anesthetists, orthotists and prosthetists, physician assistants and genetic counselors are trained in the School of Health Professions.
When training for a master’s degree in genetic counseling, students are primarily focused on clinical care. But a new program at Baylor College of Medicine will offer genetic counselors the opportunity to receive postgraduate training focused on research.
Laura Keehan, a third-year medical student at Baylor, has been passionate about working with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) for a long time.
