ABSTRACT
This practice-related insight article describes the experience of a genetic counselor being integrated into a multidisciplinary primary care clinic that provides care for a predominantly marginalized patient population in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Reflections on the lessons learned, including challenges and successes during this 1-year pilot integration are shared by the genetic counselor in the context of exploring the potential value a genetic counselor can provide while embedded in a primary care clinic. The relationship between clinical genetic counseling practice and a culturally safe and trauma-informed approach in primary care is explored, and additional steps are described that can be taken to facilitate more equitable and inclusive access to genetic counseling services for underserved and vulnerable patient populations.
