Genetic counsellors are health professionals with specific training in the field of genetics requiring a Master of Science degree in genetic counselling.

Genetic counsellors provide information, support and counselling to individuals and families who have genetic disorders or birth defects or who may be at risk for a variety of inherited conditions.

As a result of their in-depth training, genetic counsellors are an integral part of the medical genetics team. They greatly enhance clinical genetic service delivery in both the team setting and as independent practitioners of healthcare. Genetic counsellors also serve as educators, patient advocates, and genetic expertise resources for health professionals.


The Maritime Medical Genetics Service at IWK Health is the only provider of comprehensive genetics service in the Maritime Provinces.

The Genetic Counsellor provides care at the IWK, as well as virtual care to outlying regions and outreach clinics to PEI, and NB.

Our patient population includes prenatal, pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations.

This temporary position will involve mainly adult and pediatric general genetics service but could include other areas of practice over time depending on the clinical needs of the service.
