Rotation Guide & Goals
The rotation provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of clinical genetics. Residents have the opportunity to learn about a range of genetic disorders, genetic diagnostics and genetic counseling by participating in the evaluation of children in the General Genetics Clinic, Metabolic Genetics Clinic and Cleft and Craniofacial Anomalies Clinic. Residents are also encouraged to participate in the activities of the inpatient consult service. By special arrangement residents may also observe in the Neurogenetics Clinic, Genetics of Skin Disorders Clinic, Down Syndrome Clinic or the Prenatal Genetics Clinic. At the conclusion of the rotation, students will deliver a thirty minute presentation on a topic of their interest in genetic medicine.
The role the resident plays on the rotation may vary between that of an observer and active learner. We encourage residents to take an active role, participate in all consults, and take the primary history and physical on several patients. However, there will be situations in which the resident will not be the primary provider and will take an observer role.
