为庆祝维克托博士诞辰100周年。我们回顾一下约翰霍普金斯医院遗传咨询的历史，以及该专业的一些里程碑。随着1971年萨拉劳伦斯学院人类遗传学项目的第一批学生毕业，遗传咨询专业今年将庆祝成立50周年。该行业已经看到了数量和实践范围的增长，国家社会的发展，认证和认可的出现，研究生课程的激增，国家许可证的追求，以及与其他遗传学专业人士的合作。许多早期的工作是在学术中心，如约翰霍普金斯医院，而今天的辅导员受雇于多种设置和从事各种角色。
In celebration of the 100th birthday of Dr. Victor A. McKusick, we look back at the history of genetic counseling at Johns Hopkins Hospital and at some milestones for the profession. With the first students graduating from the Human Genetics program at Sarah Lawrence College in 1971, the genetic counseling profession is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The profession has seen growth in numbers and scope of practice, the evolution of a national society, the advent of certification and accreditation, the proliferation of graduate programs, the pursuit of state licensure, and collaboration with fellow genetics professionals. Many of the early jobs were at academic centers, such as Johns Hopkins Hospital, while today counselors are employed in a multitude of settings and engaged in a variety of roles.
