The Fellowship in Laboratory Genetics and Genomics is offered by the Department of Genetics at Yale School of Medicine. This two-year programme provides specialised training in the interpretation of clinical cytogenetic and molecular genetic analyses used to diagnose and manage genetic diseases and cancer. Fellows develop expertise in laboratory-based genetic testing and the interpretation of chromosomal and molecular abnormalities. The programme also prepares fellows for laboratory leadership and the development of diagnostic testing services. Graduates may pursue certification through the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics.
