As of 1 Nov 2023, Medicare rebates came into effect for reproductive genetic carrier screening. In this episode, I interview one of the clinical brains behind Mackenzie's Mission - Clinical Geneticist and Genetic Pathologist Professor Edwin Kirk.
We discuss the clinical nuances of RGCS, and also shed light on some uncommon pitfalls and ways to address them.
A must-listen episode for anyone who looks after pregnant women, is pregnant, or wishes to have biological children themselves.
