Research and Scholarly Activity
- Opportunities for research, both clinical and laboratory, within our departments or within other departments at the medical school and hospital
- Opportunities to present at local, regional, national and international meetings
- Medical genetics trainees are encouraged to submit presentations for the American Society of Human Genetics meeting in the fall and the American College of Medical Genetics meeting in the spring. In addition a metabolic course for trainees is offered in the first year.
