Medical Genetics Residency/Fellowship Training
“
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."
