About Us
We envision a genetic counseling community that embraces, empowers, includes, respects, and supports patients, colleagues, students, and partners from all walks of life.
The Stanford Genetic Counseling Diversity Equity Inclusion Action and Outreach Committee (DEI AOC) is a grassroots effort created by a team of Stanford genetic counselors and genetic counseling students in March 2020.
Our goal is to provide a platform to execute projects focused on education, outreach, advocacy, and service delivery needs in order to promote systemic change and build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive genetic counseling community. For more information, please see our charter below.
We welcome all genetic counselors and genetic counseling students in the Stanford community to join us! If you are interested in contributing to DEI AOC’s efforts, please fill out our interest form below. We will reach out to you directly with information about our next meeting.
Warmly,
The Stanford GC DEI AOC Committee
