P488: Tandem referral model improves genetic counseling access and efficiency in a kidney genetics clinic*
Abstract
Broad-based multigene panel testing is increasingly accessible across medical specialties, changing how patients access genomic services. In emerging specialty genetic clinics, such as nephrogenetics, non-genetics clinicians are ordering genetic tests independently, creating a greater need for expert interpretation and downstream counseling. As a result, the traditional genetic service delivery model, centered on a comprehensive pre- and post-test evaluation following a clinician-initiated referral, is no longer a sustainable or scalable model for care.
