| The Greenwood Genetic Center (GGC) is a private, not-for-profit institute.
Founded in 1974, the Center has been providing comprehensive genetic services,
laboratory diagnostic testing, and education for the state of South Carolina.
The Center has made substantial contributions in the field of genetic research
and has acquired an international reputation for its work in the study of mental
retardation and birth defects.
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.
