Masters / Nursing Doctorate Programs

Currently there are several Master's or Nursing Doctorate programs available to nurses who wish to specialize in Genetics. Although nurses in the past have been eligible to sit for the Genetic Counselor Certification exam, eligibility now requires an MS in Genetic Counseling. ISONG currently offers a credential of Advanced Practice for nurses who have a nursing masters or doctorate with a genetics specialty.
