Combined Residency in Pediatrics and Medical Genetics

The Medical Genetics / Combined Pediatrics–Medical Genetics Program at UCSF School of Medicine is a specialized training pathway that integrates clinical pediatrics with advanced genetic medicine and genomics. The program provides structured exposure to diagnosis, management, and counseling of patients with genetic and metabolic disorders, along with hands-on experience in genetic testing, laboratory diagnostics, and multidisciplinary care. Trainees participate in both general pediatrics and genetics continuity clinics, gaining longitudinal patient care experience while developing expertise in modern genomic medicine. The curriculum combines clinical training, research opportunities, and academic teaching, preparing physicians for board certification and careers in clinical genetics, academic medicine, and translational research.
