Gov. Evers Announces Appointments to Newly Established Genetic Counselors Affiliated Credentialing Board

By Gov. Tony Evers - Mar 3rd, 2023 07:01 am

MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today announced seven appointments to the Genetic Counselors Affiliated Credentialing Board. The board was recently established under 2021 Wisconsin Act 251, a bipartisan act signed by Gov. Evers last year related to the regulation and licensure of genetic counselors, including the creation of the seven-member Genetic Counselors Affiliated Credentialing Board.

“Genetic counselors across our state have been providing high-quality care to patients for years but have lacked the assurances and accountability that state licensure provides,” said Gov. Evers. “This new licensing board will ensure high-quality patient care continues while helping patients identify qualified providers when they need them.”

The Genetic Counselors Affiliated Credentialing Board regulates genetic counselor licensing and consists of four licensed genetic counselors, two physicians who are licensed in both medicine and surgery, and one public member, each appointed to staggered four-year terms. Members of the Genetic Counselors Affiliated Credentialing Board include:

Jennifer Geurts of New Berlin, genetic counselor – Appointed for a term ending July 1, 2024
Jessica Grzybowski of Muskego, genetic counselor – Appointed for a term ending July 1, 2025
Stephanie Karwedsky of Dousman, public member – Appointed for a term ending July 1, 2025
Peter Levonian of Madison, genetic counselor – Appointed for a term ending July 1, 2023
Dr. Michael Mullane of Milwaukee, physician and surgeon – Appointed for a term ending July 1, 2024
Dr. Michael Muriello of Brookfield, physician and clinical geneticist – Appointed for a term ending July 1, 2023
Becky Pabst of La Crosse, genetic counselor – Appointed for a term ending July 1, 2025
