Genetic Testing in the Real World:
March 16, 2025 | 10:00 am - 11:00 am
It’s Not Science Fiction!
Caroline Kielczewski, MS, CGC & Erin Syverson, MGC, CGC (Clinical Genetic Counselors).
This forum will discuss the basics of clinical genetics, including the role of genetic counselors. Our goal is for attendees to understand the current state of medical genetics, including what it looks like to be evaluated by a geneticist or genetic counselor, when to consider seeking out genetics services, and what genetic testing entails. We’ll also discuss Direct-to-Consumer Tests (such as 23andMe, the tests you can buy off the internet).

For over 50 years, the Sunday Forum lecture series has showcased provocative, sometimes controversial, speakers discussing topical issues of the day: politics, the environment, health issues, the arts, education, and more. The Sunday Forum is held at 10:00 a.m. September through May. Speakers give a 45-minute presentation, followed by questions and brief comments from the audience. The content of Forum lectures does not necessarily express the viewpoint of First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee, but are meant to offer thoughtful topics which our members often pursue further on their own.
