The Division of Laboratory Genetics at Mayo handles an unparalleled number of clinical genetic specimens, which gives trainees in the laboratory specialties an unmatched training experience. Training for certification in Clinical Genetics at Mayo also involves 3-6 months of training in the clinical laboratories. The clinical service itself includes regional, national, and international patients with a wide range of disorders, and is an especially good source of adult patients. The presence on the faculty of five certified Clinical Geneticists ensures a broad and enriching educational experience. Extra research training can be arranged with individual laboratories.
