The National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) is pleased to announce the launch of a new case-based webinar series, to be held quarterly. Each session will feature four case presentations, each lasting approximately 10-12 minutes, followed by a 10-15 minute Q&A segment.
We invite you to submit this survey if you have encountered a patient case that particularly compelling and involved a significant challenge or decision point, included sufficient detail to allow for thoughtful analysis, and yielded meaningful, measurable lessons or outcomes that may inform and enhance the daily practice of other genetic counselors.
For submission of a case-based webinar presentation, please provide a concise yet comprehensive case description that includes the following elements:
- The patient’s chief complaint or indication for genetic evaluation.
- Any personal history relevant to this indication, including (when applicable) the onset and progression of symptoms, relevant pathology, and age at diagnosis. Include the results of any prior evaluations pertinent to the case, such as imaging, laboratory studies, or previous genetic testing.
- Describe the relevant family history, highlighting features that inform genetic risk assessment.
- Present the differential diagnosis, with a brief rationale for each condition considered and an explanation of why the patient’s history raises suspicion for these diagnoses.
- Conclude with the overall assessment and a proposed plan for future testing, noting results if they are already available.
The first webinar is scheduled for March 18, 2026, from 12pm-1pm CT with subsequent sign ups occurring quarterly.
