| The UCLA Intercampus Medical Genetics Training Program is a university-wide program which utilizes the faculty and resources of three of UCLA's campuses: the Westwood campus, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. It is designed for the postdoctoral training of individuals with M.D., Ph.D., or equivalent degrees, who are highly motivated toward academic research careers in the field of medical genetics. The Intercampus Program brings together the many UCLA faculty members interested in human/medical genetics from the basic science departments of the School of Medicine, the College of Letters and Sciences, the Molecular Biology Institute, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the Medical Genetics Units at the three UCLA hospitals. The overall purpose of the Program is to provide trainees with broad knowledge of medical genetics and extensive experience in genetic research so they can enter the academic community as independent investigators. | |
