## Resource

I sit down with Dr Yvonne Bombard, scientist focusing on improving access to genetic testing for personalized medicine, at Unity Health in Toronto, as well as being founder and CEO of The Genetics Advisor. Dr Bombard is a problem solver at heart, always looking for ways to clear access for others. Genetics Advisor, which has been around for many years, is meant to augment and/or support genetic counseling. People using the tool have significantly high levels of knowledge, even compared with clinician driven sessions. Studies also show it saves provider consult time by having the patients being empowered and part of the process in the journey. We also get into the subject of ethnicity and ancestral background and relevance for interpretation, even touching on newborn screening and communicating with non-human species.
