“…There is some precedent for this from other professions. In the nursing occupation, workforce analysis was done when certain jobs were left unfilled for comparatively long periods of time (Mailey et al, ). This was found to be useful in adapting nursing training programs based on the results of the study.…”

Genetic counseling careers continue to evolve, yet there remains a lack of information about hiring trends in the genetic counseling profession. In this study, job advertisements in the United States and Canada were analyzed, using the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) Job Connections and the American Board of Genetic Counseling (ABGC) eBlasts from 2014 to 2016 to appraise job roles, qualifications, settings, specialties, and type. NSGC had 1875 advertised openings from 2014 to 2016, while ABGC had 373 advertised openings. Jobs containing a “counseling” role increased as a percentage from 2014 to 2016 when advertised by NSGC (χ2 = 25.52, p < 0.000001) but decreased each year from 2014 to 2016 as a percentage when advertised through ABGC (χ2 = 14.29, p = 0.0008). In the ABGC job postings, it was noted that 36% of job postings were advertised for other specialties (not solely cancer, pediatric, or prenatal) in 2014, and increased to 67% in 2016 (χ2 = 10.09, p = 0.02). Examining the job specialties posted by ABGC and NSGC, several new or unique roles were found in the job advertisements such as ophthalmology counselor, variant curator, rare diseases information specialist, and clinical policy analyst. Roles for temporary, contract or fellowship positions are possibly becoming more common, along with small upturns in positions that are off‐site or remote. In analyzing the changing workforce, there was a statistically significant decrease identified in jobs advertised by NSGC in the laboratory setting from 28% in 2014 to 17% in 2016 (χ2 = 24.12, p = 0.000024). This information on the evolving career of genetic counseling is valuable for the current workforce and training programs as they adapt with the changing landscape of the profession.

“…Poor countries such as Ghana are unable to compete with wealthier countries, and their nurses often are lured away with offers of higher salaries. 6 ENA, along with some of the other major specialty nursing groups and the American Nurses Association, have grown increasingly concerned about the nursing shortage. ENA realizes the importance of working to create an influx of young men and women into the nursing profession, some of whom may then consider a career in emergency nursing.…”
