I am dual trained in clinical psychology and genetic counselling and I am currently senior lecturer at Babeș-Bolyai University, Romania and the University of Manchester, UK. My clinical/research/academic experience, in Romania and the UK, gave me an overview of the complexities of different education and healthcare systems. I have been member/co-chair of the Genetic Counselling division of the European Board of Medical Genetics (EBMG), from 2012 until 2020 where I have been actively involved in setting up unified standards for education, practice and registration in genetic counselling throughout Europe.
