ABSTRACT
Technological advances in genetics have resulted in an increase in the number and complexity of screening and diagnostic tests in the prenatal clinical arena. It is critical that patients are provided with appropriate counseling to enable them to make educated decisions. During this workshop session participants discussed the education, background and credentials required to provide counseling regarding prenatal genetic testing options. The participants agreed that prenatal care providers may have limited time and training to adequately address prenatal genetic testing. Telemedicine and online education may help to address this challenge. Workshop participants agreed that educational and certifying organizations should work together to develop standards for the certification and maintenance of certification processes.
