"The [Center] represents a truly unique program ... where geneticists, social workers, nurses and physicians ... can come together with clergy, community activists and interested lay people to develop a wide spectrum of educational programs pertaining to genetics and genetic disorders."

Lee Shulman, MD
Medical director, Northwestern University Graduate Program in Genetic Counseling, Chicago
