Preparing the future genetic counseling workforce is a dynamic challenge, both for the profession and for educators. The dominance of the medical model in the state funded Australian healthcare system creates a power imbalance between doctors and other health professionals. As a result, professional regulation to protect the public from harm in line with the United States, the UK, and Canada only became mandatory in 2019. Professional regulation has the additional benefit of enhancing professional standing and autonomy, enabling genetic counselors to help shape the future of genetic health care in Australia and New Zealand. Within this rapidly evolving environment, we are establishing a new Masters\u2019 program and building a discipline of genetic counseling, working alongside other allied health professionals. Our program involves synchronous and asynchronous learning, greater accessibility, flexibility and, as we have learned in 2020, reduction in disruption during a global pandemic. In this program, we foreground the inherent knowledge, skills, and values of genetic counseling, shifting the focus from provision of genetic and genomic tests, to educating competent, person\u2010centered, research enabled and culturally safe genetic counselors. As educators, we have a responsibility to prepare students to embrace the uncertainties, challenges, and potential of the genomic era, to seize the many possibilities that lie ahead, and to expand their thinking and vision. We ask our students to be courageous, to step into a deep exploration of their own identity, beliefs, understanding, and experiences of oppression, power, and privilege. We are pushing boundaries, and challenging ourselves and our students to remain always open to possibilities. Equipping students with open eyes and listening ears may be the single most important thing we can do to prepare the genetic counseling workforce of the future to provide the best possible care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jgc4.1358","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,10]],"date-time":"2020-11-10T17:59:22Z","timestamp":1605031162000},"page":"55-60","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Preparing the genetic counseling workforce for the future in Australasia"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8705-1190","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alison","family":"McEwen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Genetic Counseling Graduate School of Health University of Technology Sydney Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9557-9080","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chris","family":"Jacobs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Genetic Counseling Graduate School of Health University of Technology Sydney Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(16)00345-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","first-page":"135","volume-title":"The art of effective facilitation","author":"Arao B.","year":"2013"},{"volume-title":"Inequality in Australia 2018","year":"2018","author":"Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS)","key":"e_1_2_11_4_1"},{"volume-title":"Genomics Health Futures Mission","year":"2020","author":"Australian Government, Department of Health","key":"e_1_2_11_5_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/qshc.2005.016527"},{"volume-title":"Challenges in professional supervision: Current themes and models for practice","year":"2016","author":"Beddoe L.","key":"e_1_2_11_7_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.10004"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/med\/9780190626426.001.0001"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9781315635866"},{"volume-title":"The ecology of human development experiments by nature and design","year":"1996","author":"Bronfenbrenner U.","key":"e_1_2_11_11_1"},{"volume-title":"Understanding people in context: The ecological perspective in counseling","year":"2012","author":"Cook E.
