Clinical Biochemical Genetics Residency

This training program is offered as a 2-year training program for candidates with a PhD or MD from any institution.  It is preferred that PhD candidates have a degree in biochemistry, chemistry or genetics and that MD candidates have completed a residency in clinical pathology or clinical genetics (below).

However, any previous field of focus is acceptable with a demonstrated passion for biochemical genetics. Candidates with a doctorate from an international institution are asked to first complete a Foreign Medical Graduate Credentials Review through the ABMGG.

Prerequisites:

  • For Ph.D. Applicants: A doctoral degree in Biochemistry, Chemistry, or Genetics is strongly preferred.
  • For M.D. Applicants: Successful completion of a residency training program in Clinical Pathology is strongly preferred.
  • Alternately, this is offered as a 1-year training program  to trainees who have completed an ABMGG-accredited Clinical Genetics residency program.

How To apply:

Interested applicants should download the application packet. The application packet or any questions can be sent to GeneticsTraining@chop.edu
