Mayo Clinic's Department of Medical Genetics offers adults and
children comprehensive evaluation and care for inherited disorders.
Included within the department are specialized clinics for individuals
with inborn errors of metabolism, neurofibromatosis and Von Hippel-Lindau
Syndrome.
Mayo Clinic's Cytogenetics, Molecular, and Biochemical Genetics
laboratories are some of the largest and well-respected laboratories
in the country. The collaboration between these laboratories creates
an optimal setting for patient care and for training.
Faculty
In addition to caring for patients in their clinical practices,
Mayo Clinic's faculty members are committed to teaching and facilitating
the growth of medical knowledge. Many of our faculty have published
and lectured extensively and are highly regarded in their field.
You will have direct access to these individuals throughout your
training program.
Throughout the Medical Genetics Residency, you will interact with
the teaching faculty
and staff .
Advisors & Mentors
You will be assigned a faculty advisor who can provide comprehensive
educational advice and personal support. Your advisor also will
serve as a contact point, introducing you and your family to Rochester
and Mayo Clinic.
Medical genetics residents are supervised by geneticists who are
certified by the ACGME and American Board of Medical Genetics in
clinical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics and biochemical
genetics.
As you gain increasing independence and confidence and your clinical
skills grow, you will see and evaluate patients independently. However,
throughout the residency – for particularly complex or unusual cases
– the staff is always available for further assistance and input.
Visiting Professors
Many prominent professors visit Mayo Clinic each year to present
their work during noon and/or morning lectures and participate in
hospital rounds. You will be encouraged to take full advantage of
these opportunities.
