Career Path

The Professional Certificate in Molecular Diagnostics and Genetic Testing is a valuable credential for those interested in the rapidly growing field of genetic testing. With the increasing demand for genetic testing services, there is a growing need for skilled professionals who can perform and analyze these tests. In this program, students will learn about the latest advances in molecular diagnostics and genetic testing, as well as the ethical and legal implications of these technologies. Graduates will be prepared for careers as genetic counselors, molecular biologists, laboratory geneticists, and genetic technologists. Genetic counselors work with patients to assess their risk of inherited diseases and provide counseling and support. They typically have a master's degree in genetic counseling and are certified by the American Board of Genetic Counseling. Molecular biologists study the structure and function of genes at the molecular level. They typically have a PhD in molecular biology or a related field and work in research or academia. Laboratory geneticists perform and analyze genetic tests in a clinical setting. They typically have a PhD in genetics or a related field and are certified by the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics. Genetic technologists perform laboratory tests to identify genetic disorders and abnormalities. They typically have a bachelor's degree in medical technology or a related field and are certified by the American Society for Clinical Pathology. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of genetic counselors is projected to grow 21% from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations. The median annual wage for genetic counselors was $81,880 in May 2020. Employment of molecular biologists is projected to grow 5% from 2020 to 2030, about as fast as the average for all occupations. The median annual wage for molecular biologists was $75,150 in May 2020. Employment of clinical laboratory technologists and technicians, which includes laboratory geneticists, is projected to grow 11% from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations. The median annual wage for clinical laboratory technologists and technicians was $54,180 in May 2020. Employment of medical and clinical laboratory technologists and technicians, which includes genetic technologists, is projected to grow 11% from 2020 to 2030, much
