I really like that idea! I wonder if this is something NSGC would be interested in doing.

Maybe this is where NSGC ‘branding’ could come into play. Websites or regular podcasts could apply to have NSGC review their material and give them their ‘brand’ or ‘seal of approval’. I’m picturing the same idea as picking foods in grocery stores – where you can choose foods with the ‘health check’ or whatever it is, so that you know you’re getting healthy foods.

I have the common concern that the internet might displace genetic counselor positions due to the easy access to info and people will forget/not know the value of seeing a GC for the therapeutic process and discussion.

On the other hand, there is a whole population of patients that have little/no access to the internet — they really need our educational services!
