Pennsylvania SB535 amends the Osteopathic Medical Practice Act to update definitions and genetic counselor scope of practice.

Pennsylvania SB535 amends the Osteopathic Medical Practice Act by adding a definition for "genetic test" and updating the scope of practice for genetic counselors. Genetic counselors can now identify, order, and coordinate genetic laboratory tests and other diagnostic studies for genetic assessment. They must provide written documentation of medical, genetic, and counseling information for families and health care professionals, maintaining these records in the client's medical files.
