Education

The Medical Genetics Residency Program, which is based in our Division in the Department of Pediatrics, utilizes combined clinical genetics services, basic science research, and education programs of six Medical School departments. The primary goals are Board Certification in Medical Genetics and preparation for a clinical or research career in academic genetics. We also offer combined training in Pediatrics and Medical Genetics.  Training leading to Board Certification in Clinical Cytogenetics, Clinical Biochemical Genetics or Clinical Molecular Genetics is also offered.
