The Fellowship in Laboratory Genetics and Genomics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is a specialized training program designed to prepare professionals for leadership roles in clinical genetics laboratories. The program provides in-depth training in molecular genetics, cytogenetics, and genomic technologies, with a strong focus on the clinical interpretation of genetic data. Fellows gain hands-on experience in advanced diagnostic techniques such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), variant analysis, and laboratory management. The curriculum also includes exposure to patient-centered applications, ethical considerations, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Overall, the fellowship equips trainees with the skills required for certification by the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics and for careers in clinical diagnostics, research, and academic medicine.
