Episode 8: Exploring Genetic Counselling with Jessica Hartley

Tuesday, May 12, 2026 • Duration 01:00:00

In Episode 8 of the MiSC Society Podcast, we’re joined by Jessica Hartley, the UofM Program Director of the MSc in Genetic Counselling and an actual genetic counsellor!

In this episode, we explore a career that takes genetics beyond the lab and goes into real patient care. We cover what genetic counselling actually is and what the role looks like in real-world healthcare, and how genetic counsellors help patients understand complex information and navigate important decisions. We also talk about the MSc in Genetic Counselling program at the University of Manitoba, including what it involves, why it is so selective, and what students can do if they are interested in pursuing this path.

Whether you’re interested in genetics, healthcare, or exploring different career paths in science, this episode offers valuable insight into a field that many students are curious about but don’t always fully understand.

We talk about the highlights, the challenges, and the reality of research where things don’t always go as planned, and failure is often part of the process.

We get into the pressures students face, the normalization of burnout, and how comparison culture can quietly affect the way we see ourselves.
