MSPH with a Concentration in Genetic Counseling

The University of South Florida (USF) is proud to offer the first Genetic Counseling Graduate Program in the State of Florida. Our program includes a unique combination of training in medical genetics/genomics, public health, and communication and counseling skills. Students of this program will gain the technical knowledge and clinical skills needed to compete in the rapidly growing field of genetic counseling and the emerging field of precision medicine. The program is a comprehensive, 22-month, full-time program that consists of didactic and skill-based course work, multiple clinical rotations and field experiences beginning in the first semester, independent learning opportunities, and a thesis research requirement. Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive a Master’s of Science in Public Health with a concentration in Genetic Counseling (MSPH-GC).

The program curriculum and clinical rotation requirements meet the required competencies and standards needed to apply for and achieve program accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Genetic Counseling (ACGC).  Accreditation of the program will be sought in 2016. Graduates of accredited programs are eligible to sit for the national board certification exam that is administered by the American Board of Genetic Counseling (ABGC).
