Robert Resta

Now happily retired as of 12/31/2020, I was a genetic counselor in the Hereditary Cancer Clinic and, prior to that, at the Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, where I worked for over 37 years. I am a well-known expert in the field of genetic counseling with over 60 publications including articles, commentaries, books, and book chapters on the historical, clinical, ethical, and psychological aspects of genetic counseling. I am a former Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Genetic Counseling and a frequent contributor to The DNA Exchange, the most widely read genetic counseling blog. I am the 2013 recipient of the Natalie Weissberger Paul Lifetime Achievement Award, the most distinguished honor within the National Society of Genetic Counselors.
