Many thanks for your answer!

It was very helpful for me, here in Argentina there are no training programs, and because of the economic situation is not easy for me to take any of these foreign programs, but I would like to do. However, patients need to have a place where they can improve their psychological wellbeing and to achieve a better understanding of their condition. That's why I want to design a workshop for the patients and their family. All provide information or advice is very welcome! I will certainly contact Milena Paneque

Thanks again

The University of Cape Town runs a MSc Genetic Counselling programme as well as short courses on psychosocial aspects and principles of genetic counselling and medical genetics. These courses are relatively new but you might want to contact us for some information.
