Fellowship Program Summary

The goal of the Fellowship in Medical Genetics is to provide further specialized training for MDs who have completed a Residency in Medical Genetics. The fellow may choose to specialize in different areas of Medical Genetics research, including Clinical Biochemical Genetics, Clinical Molecular Genetics or Clinical Cytogenetics.

For those physicians who plan a career in academic genetics, there is a need for further experience and training in research after a residency in Medical Genetics. We, therefore, offer the Fellowship in Genetics - Research Track. In this track, the fellow works in the research area of their choice, laboratory or clinical, under the supervision of a mentor.

Some individuals who have completed a Residency in Medical Genetics which led to board certification by the ABMG in Clinical Genetics may also wish to become board certified in other specialty areas offered by the ABMG, such as Clinical Biochemical Genetics, Clinical Molecular Genetics, or Clinical Cytogenetics. The Fellowship in Medical Genetics - Clinical Laboratory Specialty Track, offers these individuals the one additional required year of training in Clinical Biochemical Genetics, Clinical Molecular Genetics, or Clinical Cytogenetics.
