Hi,
I'm currently a freshman Biology (concentration in Genetics) / Pre-Med student. First and foremost, I know I want a career between medicine and genetics. I've considered genetic counseling before, but from what I've found it is not as hands on as I would like. So I guess my question comes down to the pathway that genetics would work best for. For the longest time I have wanted to be a clinical geneticist, however, sometimes I wonder if it is worth it between the debt/high rates of being sued/ and overall trend of the MCAT and medical school being sucky. I'm not sure if PAs can specialize in genetics or not. I was wondering if anyone focuses on genetics in the healthcare field and could help me to better decide my options. Thank you for your time.
