- Strong clinical and research opportunities within pediatric genetics and opportunities for connections across Stanford School of Medicine
- Onsite clinical genetics laboratories (e.g. biochemical, cytogenetics, molecular, exome sequencing)
- Interactions with broad community of genetics trainees: ranked #3 for Graduate Schools in Genetics, Genomics and Bioinformatics by the US News and World Report
