Alfie, Academia, and the Art of Genetic Counseling Research. Demystifying Genetics with Laura Forrest
Explore the captivating world of genetic counseling with Laura Forrest, a respected academic and associate genetic counsellor all the way from Melbourne, Australia. Together, we untangle the intricacies of qualitative research in clinical genetics and the fascinating journey through her PhD in familial communications. We also delve deep into her publications and discuss the promising Genetic Counseling Outcome Scale. Along the way, enjoy lighter moments as Laura shares the story of her new puppy Alfie and his toilet training tale. Furthermore, we underscore the transformative power of feedback on refining our work.
In the second half, we navigate the significance of mixed-methods research in shaping a robust academic and research career. Through an enriching conversation, we provide insight into the multi-method studies, their applications, and the merits of qualitative and quantitative methods. Laura also opens up about her experiences of co-authoring papers with her husband. Shifting gears, we discuss the Genetic Counseling Outcome Scale (G-COS), an innovative tool designed to measure the empowerment outcomes of genetic counseling. Discover the five constructs of the G-COS and learn how it can amplify the effectiveness of research and practice. Tune in to this enlightening episode and stay informed!
