| A broad-based, comprehensive medical genetic service, research and training program sponsored by the Departments of Obstetrics/Gynecology and Pediatrics. All applicants require an M.D. degree and satisfactory completion of a residency training program in either Ob/Gyn or Pediatrics. The training program is designed to provide exposure to a broad spectrum of human genetic disorders, with special emphasis on the diagnosis and management of genetic diseases, genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis. Laboratory experience is acquired through rotations in the cytogenetic, biochemical genetics and molecular genetics laboratories which serve as regional and national resources. Faculty research interests and areas of expertise are diverse and include heritable cancer syndromes, cytogenetics, dysmorphology, molecular genetics and prenatal diagnosis/ultrasound. Research opportunities range from clinical studies to basic science projects that involve interaction with faculty in the Department of Molecular Genetics at the medical school. The training program is tailored to the needs, interests and projected career plans of the fellowship trainee. | |
