| The New York Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH) and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) jointly offer an ACGME-accredited two-year training program in Medical Genetics. The program is designed to train physicians to diagnose, manage, and counsel patients with genetic disorders, with an opportunity for special focus on inherited predisposition to cancer. Both NYPH and MSKCC are affiliated with the Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences of Cornell University. The Division of Human Genetics at NYPH performs adult, pediatric and prenatal consultations for a full range of inherited disorders and chromosomal abnormalities. MSKCC is a comprehensive cancer center consisting of Memorial Hospial and the Sloan-Kettering Institute. The Clinical Genetics service at MSKCC sees a high volume of patients who have or may have an inherited predisposition to cancer. The joint training program includes rotations at two clinical cytogenetics laboratories, two clinical molecular genetics laboratories, and one clinical biochemical genetics laboratory. At NYPH, research relevant to Medical Genetics include: oncogenesis, genetic susceptibility to cancer, animal models of human cancer, and gene transfer for gene therapy. During the course of the program, each trainee will have the opportunity to complete a clinical genetic research and/or a genetic laboratory research project under the direct supervision of a member of our program's faculty. Up to two positions are available starting each July to M.D.s, or M.D.,Ph.D.s who have completed a minimum of two years of ACGME-accredited residency training in the U.S. or Canada. For trainees interested in the ABMG-accredited program in Clinical Cytogenetics or Clinical Molecular Genetics at MSKCC, please see the separate program description under Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in this directory. | |
