Genetic counsellors may use their evidence of formal qualifications in the language of the State which awarded them. He must indicate the place and establishment where it was obtained.

Where the evidence of formal qualifications from the Member State or Party of origin is liable to be confused with evidence of formal qualifications requiring additional training in France, the competent authority may decide that the genetic counsellor shall refer to the evidence of formal qualifications from the Member State or Party of origin in an appropriate form which it shall specify.

The person concerned shall bear the professional title of genetic counsellor.

Article L1132-4
Le conseiller en génétique peut faire usage de son titre de formation dans la langue de l’Etat qui le lui a délivré. Il est tenu de faire figurer le lieu et l’établissement où il a été obtenu.


Dans le cas où le titre de formation de l’Etat d’origine, membre ou partie, est susceptible d’être confondu avec un titre exigeant en France une formation complémentaire, l’autorité compétente peut décider que le conseiller en génétique fera état du titre de formation de l’Etat d’origine, membre ou partie, dans une forme appropriée qu’elle lui indique.


L’intéressé porte le titre professionnel de conseiller en génétique.
