Does Supply Equal Demand? The Workforce of Direct Patient Care Genetic Counselors in Wisconsin.

Background: Recent studies documented a shortage of direct patient care (DPC) genetic counselors in the United States. We aimed to survey genetic counselor members of the Wisconsin Genetic Counselors Association (WIGCA) to determine if the supply and demand was met within the state and where access to services can improve.

Methods: An email invitation was sent to all genetic counselor members of the WIGCA with a link to a confidential online survey.
