Given the socialized healthcare system and small country size, genetic services are generally accessible and often free. The existence of founder mutations in various communities in Israel makes genetic testing easier to perform. Yet, the ethnic, cultural and religious diversity of the population has major implications on the design of the screening programs and the use of genetic services. The Israeli Association of Genetic Counselors (IAGC) was established in 2008 and had existed informally since 1989. There are two Master level genetic counseling training programs (6 students\/class, 2 year program): Hebrew University\u2010Hadassah Medical School (established in 1997) and the Technion (established in 2009). Genetic counselors\u2019 clinical training is largely observational and 2 years of supervised counseling sessions post degree are required for board exam eligibility. Genetic counselors are licensed and lead counseling sessions individually, but currently must work under medical geneticist supervision. This is the first article to summarize the history and training of Master level genetic counselors in Israel. Genetic services, coverage and regulations are also described.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10897-013-9576-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,23]],"date-time":"2013-02-23T12:16:18Z","timestamp":1361621778000},"page":"890-896","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Genetic Counseling Services and Training of Genetic Counselors in Israel: An Overview"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Michal","family":"Sagi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Genetics and Metabolic Diseases Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center Jerusalem 91120 Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wendy R.","family":"Uhlmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Michigan Ann Arbor USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_1_2_1","first-page":"505","article-title":"The founder mutations 185delAG and 5382insC in BRCA1 and 6174delT in BRCA2 appear in 60 % of ovarian cancer and 30 % of early\u2010onset breast cancer patients among Ashkenazi women","volume":"60","author":"Abeliovich D.","year":"1997","journal-title":"American Journal of Human Genetics"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymgme.2006.11.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_1_4_1","first-page":"523","volume-title":"A guide to genetic counseling","author":"Balkite E.
