MEDICAL GENETICS RESIDENCY
The clinical genetics residency at the Greenwood Genetic Center is designed
to provide intensive postgraduate clinical experience with heritable conditions.
Residents are required to have completed a primary care residency program
(family practice, internal medicine, OB/GYN or pediatrics). Clinical training
includes exposure to prenatal, pediatric and adult genetics and counseling
(2,500 new families per year). Specifically, the resident will see a wide range
of heritable disorders, reviewing the evaluation and management of each patient
with their preceptor. The student will learn principles of heredity through
conferences, internal graduate courses and clinical experience. Moreover they
will study the nature of genetic disorders and their impact on the individual,
family, and society.
