A faculty member in genetic counseling shared this with me so I'm passing it along.
The National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) seeks a part-time independent contractor (or multiple contractors) to provide methodological services to support NSGC's clinical practice guidelines development process. This individual (or individuals) will be listed as co-author(s) on any resulting publications.
