DG07--Nuts & Bolts for CF Genetic Counselors

Thursday, October 23, 2025
7:45 AM - 9:45 AM PDT
Location: 335-336
Given the recent guidance from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to include genetic counselors on CF core care teams, our session will focus on both practical and timely genetic counseling issues when it comes to CF. Speakers in this session will discuss genetic counseling for CF across the lifespan, strategies to integrate genetic counselors into the CF care team, and how to apply psychosocial skills in the setting of targeted therapeutics.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the unique genetic counseling needs of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) at key developmental stages informed by real world clinical experience and evolving standards of care.
  • Examine strategies used to integrate genetic counselors into CF care teams by reviewing genetic counselor experiences with multiple models of care delivery.
  • Discuss how genetic counselors in CF centers are increasingly taking on roles reviewing targeted therapeutics in clinical care and how genetic counseling psychosocial skills can be of benefit.
