| The Greenwood Genetic Center offers clinical genetics residency training, postdoctoral fellowships, sabbatical and elective periods of study. The postdoctoral training program is accredited in 4 training areas. Clinical residency training includes exposure to prenatal, pediatric and adult genetics evaluations and counseling (2,500 new families per year) throughout the state of South Carolina. Rotation through the diagnostic and research laboratories for molecular, biochemical, cytogenetic, molecular cytogenetic and fetal pathology study are requirements. Training in dysmorphology can be obtained in the multiple pediatric and outreach clinics. The J.C. Self Research Institute offers research study and training on molecular and anatomical approaches to birth defects and mental retardation. Extensive English language library holdings include all major and medical genetics journals and pertinent genetics textbooks. | |
