Genetic Counseling — Counselor Career Context
This Genetic Counseling position at Baptist Health is open to counselor candidates.
Licensed counselors and therapists are in high demand as mental health awareness grows, with telehealth platforms creating new opportunities for remote practice.
Remote counselor positions in Genetic Counseling have grown significantly in recent years, offering clinicians the ability to maintain a full patient panel without geographic constraints or commute-related burnout.
Compensation Analysis
This employer qualifies for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). Eligible clinicians can have their remaining federal student loan balance forgiven after 120 qualifying monthly payments (10 years). For physicians and advanced practice providers carrying significant educational debt, PSLF eligibility can represent hundreds of thousands of dollars in long-term financial benefit.
Location & Logistics

Many remote healthcare positions also allow providers to establish a more sustainable long-term practice pattern.

- No on-call requirements — clinicians are completely off-duty after hours
- No weekend shifts — preserving personal and family time
- Fully remote — work from anywhere with an active license
