WHAT’S EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME?
The Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) are a group of more than 13 genetic connective tissue disorders that affect the joints and ligaments, blood vessels, gastrointestinal tract, and autonomic nervous system, among others. The most common type of EDS is hypermobile EDS (hEDS), which used to be known at type III. Some of the most common symptoms and co-morbidities of hEDS include chronic joint pain, joint instability and dislocations, dysautonomia, and GI tract dysmotility.

Even though this video has been here a while I just wanted to say thank you for putting all of these resources out there I did not know about some of these..

This is really cool! I've been following your channel since becoming sick last year and I'm also looking into genetics counseling. I'm currently researching the field.

@jadapugh7962 3 года назад

Hi Izzy. It is so cool that you're pursuing genetic counseling! I am a current student at the JHU/NIH program who has watched your videos in preparation for my EDS clinic experience. I would be happy to review any of your application materials or talk with you about your decision making process when it comes to ranking for the match. Best of luck!

Hi Jada! Thank you so much for commenting on my video and offering to review my application materials! It's so cool to hear that you've watched some of my videos in preparation for your EDS clinic experience. Johns Hopkins/NIH is one of my top programs, and it would be so amazing to chat with you! Do you have an Instagram so we can connect?

Hi Izzy! I’m 29, married and have worked in the medical billing career for 5 years. I decided that I would to further pursue my healthcare career and wanted to become a genetics counseling. I loved your video but my only thing that makes me worry is that being I have a full time job now and being a wife is that I may not be able to be apart of all the extra curricular that they are looking for. I’m hoping that despite my age and circumstances that I’ll be able to still get all the other requirements in :)

In the state of florida there is only one college that has this program. Its hours away. Do you have any advice thatll help me because im a senior in high school and I dont know much about flexibility in colleges and programs. Thank you

@sanjeevnik 3 года назад

can you maybe suggest a few subjects we can take along with majoring in genetic counseling that are related to it?

@aderasview9562 3 года назад

This video really helped! I have a great GPA and a lot of other of the requirements done! I’m finishing my bachelors in biotechnology and will apply to an online Genetic counseling program because of my job. Do you Have to use the match system?

@selenamaharjan2811 Год назад

hello @aderasview I am a 4th year btech in biotechnology student, too. How do you meet the requirement for other prerequisite courses not included in our bachelor's degree. how have you done them?

@judybabooti8151 3 года назад

im currently in the 9th grade, im graduating as a junior and there is a lot of pressure on me to pick the colleges im interested in and the major. i want to be the doctor that helps you maintain your eds and other similar conditions too. I have heds and its really important for me to help others with the same condition. i dont really have an eds doctor. i have a cardiologist who has a lot of knowledge on eds and pots but i know i dont want to be a cardiologist. i guess my question here is what are the doctors that maintain hypermobile disorders called because i cant find a straight answer on google. i have looked into genetic counseling but i dont think its for me because once i tell these people they have eds im going to want to treat them and keep in touch and make sure theyre doing okay

I thought the abortion question was a bit invasive until I researched McGills extensive work and research into funding abortion rights, They are quite an amazing school

@IzzyKDNA 3 года назад

I also think it makes sense, given that abortion can be a topic of discussion in genetic counseling, especially in the prenatal world! It totally caught me by surprise when she said that though hahaha

@CancerGC 3 года назад

The question caught me by surprise during my interview! I think they wanted to see if regardless of your personal views on the topic you’d be able to counsel and support a patient in whatever they decided. I think it was a great question!

@IzzyKDNA 3 года назад

Many people major in biology or genetics, but all of these genetic counseling programs are very happy to accept students with any major as long as they've completed the prerequisites
