We are geneticists, genetic counsellors, support staff and learners. We serve individuals and families from BC and the Yukon.
We are a consultative service that focuses on clarifying diagnoses and providing genetic counselling for rare and difficult to diagnose genetic conditions while also contributing to education and research.
We provide appointments in person or by telehealth via phone or video conference. Medical Genetics also provides outreach clinics to Kelowna and Prince George.
Our service also provides telephone consultations to specialists, pediatricians, family physicians and nurse practitioners. If other assessments are required and the patient lives outside of the lower mainland, we will try to schedule them for the same day or as close to the clinic appointment as possible.
