Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Genetic counseling has proven to be an important resource in internal medicine, especially for patients with a history of chronic or hereditary disease. Through the provision of genetic screening and risk assessment, internists are able to determine predispositions for diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

This enables doctors to craft prevention care plans and advise patients in therapeutic and lifestyle decisions. As clinical genomics increases, genetic counseling bridges the gap between personalized medicine and routine clinical practice.
