In September, 1989, 35 individuals representing training programs for genetic counselors and genetic nurse specialists, the Education Committee of the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC), and others with interest and expertise in genetic counselor education met at Asilomar, CA. The purpose of this meeting was to reevaluate training program curricula, both didactic and experiential; to discuss the need for and desirability of advanced graduate education in genetic counseling; and to consider whether alternatives to master's-level training are needed to overcome a growing manpower shortage in the provision of genetics services. This article summarizes recommendations for master's-level training curricula, reviews options and implications for post-master's genetic counselor education, and examines issues related to training for people without a master's degree who also provide patient and community genetics education.
1989年9月，来自遗传咨询师和遗传护士专家培训项目、美国国家遗传咨询师协会（NSGC）教育委员会的35名代表，以及其他对遗传咨询师教育感兴趣且具备专业知识的人士，在加利福尼亚州阿西洛马举行了会议。本次会议的目的是重新评估培训项目课程，包括理论教学和实践教学；讨论遗传咨询领域研究生进阶教育的必要性和可取性；并考虑是否需要硕士水平培训以外的其他途径，以应对遗传服务领域日益严重的人力短缺问题。本文总结了硕士水平培训课程的建议，回顾了硕士毕业后遗传咨询师教育的选择及其影响，并探讨了为没有硕士学位但也提供患者和社区遗传教育的人员进行培训的相关问题。
