| The joint UCSF/Stanford Medical Genetics Residency Program directed by Dr. Hoyme is described at http://www.stanfordmedicalgenetics.bigstep.com/generic.html?pid=2. The Stanford Interdepartmental Postdoctoral Training Program in Medical Genetics (http://mgtp.stanford.edu) is designed for MDs or MD/PhDs who after clinical residency training desire an extensive period of research training, or for basic scientists with a Ph.D. degree who wish to work on fundamental or applied problems relevant to medical genetics. The 30 participating training faculty are from 11 different departments. The primary focus is on individual laboratory research training, supplemented by didactic courses in basic and human genetics and bioinformatics, and by attendance of medical genetics rounds and human genetics journal club. Practical training towards ABMG certifications in Clinical Cytogenetics, and Clinical Molecular Genetics takes in the Clinical Laboratories of the Department of Pathology at Stanford Medical Center. | |
