The Advisory Board provides guidance to the leadership of the Master of Science in Genetic Counseling  (MSGC) Program. Convening at least annually, the Advisory Board will offer feedback to Executive Committee (EC) on issues regarding program development, implementation, and ongoing evaluation. The Advisory Board helps the program align its educational, clinical and research goals with the current and emerging needs of the profession to continually improve the student experience and outcomes. 

The Executive Committee (EC) comprises the leadership of the MSGC and includes the Director, Chair, and Medical co-Directors, as well as the Program Manager. The EC meets at least quarterly to review program progress including, but not limited to, student evaluations and milestone completion, preceptor reports, updates in Typhon, faculty and fieldwork supervisor evaluations as well as feedback on fieldwork rotation sites.
