Genetic counselors are a wonderful resource to pediatricians everywhere, working closely not only with medical geneticists, but also a host of sub-specialists. They wear many hats as families grapple with a new possible diagnosis - gatherers of information with trusty pedigrees, teachers of lofty medical concepts to anxious parents, guides through a bevy of genetic testing options carrying different pros, cons, and cost/coverage. They also provide vital emotional support to parents and children wondering: “what does this all mean for me, my family, and possibly my future family?”

This week's episode features Dinel Pond, Children's Minnesota's lead genetic counselor, who guides us through expert family history-taking, strategies for explaining genetic concepts across different languages and educational backgrounds, and often encountered clinical cases.
