Overview
This role involves the ability to provide genetic counseling and coordinate genomic care for critically ill newborns admitted to the Riley Children’s Hospital Level IV NICU. This would include a need to obtain detailed medical and family history information, as well as collecting and organizing phenotypic data, to screen patients as part of a genetic assessment and evaluation. Responsibilities would extend to the coordination, tracking and return of genetic test results to clinical teams involved in the care of these patients as well as their families. Knowledge and comfort with using a REDCap database is essential to track outcomes of genetic evaluations, as involvement in clinical research studies to better understand neonatal genetic conditions is integral to this role. Successful applicants will have a strong interest in innovative approaches to genomics for critically ill newborns, will complete appropriate research training, and have an ability to work with a multidisciplinary care team which includes those with and without formal training in clinical genetics. May teach or oversee genetic counseling students and/or other medical learners.
