Medical Biochemical Genetics Residency
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) offers a one-year residency program in Medical Biochemical Genetics that trains highly motivated physicians to diagnose, manage and counsel patients with metabolic genetic disorders.
The NHGRI program is unparalleled in several respects. It exposes students to rare genetic disorders that might not be seen in a more typical biochemical genetics program; it is one of the few programs that emphasizes clinical research, and it grants access to the vast resources at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and at other, highly ranked medical institutions in the national capital area.
Prerequisites:
Candidates must have an M.D. degree and have completed an ACGME accredited U.S. residency training program in clinical genetics, be board eligible or board certified in clinical genetics and have a valid, unrestricted U.S. license.
How To apply:
Apply to this program through the NIH Graduate Medical Education Application System.
