随着遗传保健和基因检测从主要解决纯遗传性疾病扩展到具有遗传和环境成分的常见疾病，遗传咨询的范围也在扩大。随着遗传服务在医疗保健中越来越普遍，确定和利用由专业人员定义的规范性实践模式至关重要。本文的目的是描述一个共识会议的结果召开，以确定一个模式的遗传咨询实践的基础上，教育工作者和领导人在行业的指导。来自北美20个遗传咨询研究生项目的23名项目主任或其代表听取了演讲，并参加了旨在确定实践模式要素的小组讨论，包括解决患者遗传问题的原则，目标，策略和行为。他们的讨论进行了总结，培训的影响和研究建议，并提出了一个模式的实践，扩展他们的想法。
As genetic health care and genetic testing expand from primarily addressing conditions that are exclusively genetic in nature to common diseases with both genetic and environmental components, the scope of genetic counseling has grown. Identification and utilization of a normative model of practice defined by members of the profession is critical as genetic services become more commonplace in medical care. The purpose of this paper is to describe the results of a consensus conference convened to define a model of genetic counseling practice based on the guidance of educators and leaders in the profession. Twenty-three program directors or their representatives from 20 genetic counseling graduate programs in North America listened to presentations and participated in group discussions aimed at determining the elements of a model of practice, including tenets, goals, strategies, and behaviors for addressing patients’ genetic concerns. Their discussion is summarized, training implications and research recommendations are presented, and a model of practice that extends their ideas is proposed.
