Patrick T. Semesky, MGC

I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Virginia in 2014. I received a Master's in Genetic Counseling from the University of Maryland Baltimore in 2017. I am certified by the American Board of Genetic Counseling and licensed in the state of Maryland.

As the Assistant Director of the Master’s in Genetic Counseling Training Program, I play an active role in clinical coordination, student research, education, and mentorship. I leverage the skills that I learned as a prenatal genetic counselor at the Center for Advanced Fetal Care at the University of Maryland from 2017-2024 in my education of our trainees. I have a special interest in diversity, equity, and inclusion and am the course director of the DEI Seminar for the training program.
