Medical Genetics Residency Program
The overall goal of the program is to train highly competent clinical medical geneticists who are able to provide state-of-the-art diagnostic, management and counseling services for a wide variety of genetic disorders.
The resident's assignments during the 2-year genetic residency are based on each activity's educational value toward achieving the program objectives and are not dictated by the service needs.

Benefits, Conditions and Terms of Employment
The Clinical Genetics training program at Medical College of Wisconsin is uniquely able to mold a strong Physician-Scientist. Not only is the clinical exposure rich, but the research opportunities and multidisciplinary collaboration efforts are exceptional. The ethos of this training program is one of intellectual curiosity, empowerment of deep investigation, and development of the mentor-mentee relationship. This department introduced me to the term "diagnostic odyssey," and is teaching me how to be a confident clinician and a persistent explorer."
