While the profession has maintained the Master's degree as the entry\u2010level and terminal degree, many other allied health professions have added advanced training pathways, such as the clinical doctorate (ClinD) either as an optional post\u2010professional degree or required entry\u2010level degree. Discussions regarding advanced degrees have also occurred within the genetic counseling profession, dating back to as early as the 1980s. In 2011, the Genetic Counseling Advanced Degree Task Force (GCADTF) was convened to explore the issue again, with the goal of \u201c[engaging] all of the professional leadership organizations in the field of genetic counseling in a decision\u2010making process about whether the profession should move to a Clinical Doctorate\u201d. As part of their work, the GCADTF surveyed practicing genetic counselors (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20094,321) and genetic counseling students (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009522) in the US and Canada regarding their interest in moving to the ClinD as the entry\u2010level degree. This survey also included questions about other options for advanced training to generate data to inform future discussions around this very important professional issue. Herein, we describe the results of the survey, with particular attention to genetic counselor preferences for additional advanced education\/certification opportunities and recommendations for future discussion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10897-014-9785-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,29]],"date-time":"2014-10-29T03:13:47Z","timestamp":1414552427000},"page":"626-634","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Genetic Counselors\u2019 and Genetic Counseling Students\u2019 Attitudes Around the Clinical Doctorate and Other Advanced Educational Options for Genetic Counselors: A Report from the Genetic Counseling Advanced Degree Task Force"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Rebecca","family":"Nagy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Human Genetics Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center\/James Cancer Hospital Columbus 2001 Polaris Parkway Columbus OH 43240 USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Holly","family":"Peay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy Hackensack Hackensack NJ USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Melissa","family":"Hicks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Genetic &amp; Metabolic Disorders Children's Hospital of Michigan Detroit MI USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jacqueline","family":"Kloos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Human Genetics Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center\/James Cancer Hospital Columbus 2001 Polaris Parkway Columbus OH 43240 USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rachel","family":"Westman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St. Luke's Children's Hospital Boise ID USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Conway","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Genetic Counseling Program Arcadia University Glenside PA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brenda","family":"Finucane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geisinger Health System, Lewisburg Lewisburg PA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Fitzpatrick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Human Genetics McGill University Montreal Montreal QC Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erynn","family":"Gordon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Invitae San Francisco CA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erica","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Services Laboratory Illumina, Inc.
