271 Things Are Changing Fast. The Need for Genetic Counselors. Dr. James Grifo
Update: 2025-11-23
Description
“They expect us to be perfect.”
That’s how Dr. Jamie Grifo, Chief Executive Physician of the Inception/Prelude Network, describes the expectations placed on reproductive endocrinologists from patients, payors, and policymakers alike.
And while perfection may be impossible, preparation and partnership aren’t.
He discusses:
– Why NYU Langone has three in-house genetic counselors in their REI department
– How they counseled over 700 new patients last year
– What led to 300 PGT-M cycles out of 5,500 retrievals
– The challenges of sharing counselors across a growing network
– Regulatory complexities from state and federal oversight
– Why some REIs may be missing key opportunities to help patients with mosaic embryos
