Overview
The Master of Medicine (Genomics & Precision Medicine) at the University of Sydney is a postgraduate coursework programme aimed at equipping practising clinicians with advanced knowledge and skills in the rapidly evolving domain of genomics and precision health. The curriculum addresses core concepts such as clinical epidemiology (via units like Introduction to Clinical Epidemiology), ethical and evidence-based genomics (e.g., the capstone unit Ethics and Evidence in Genomics), and a suite of stream-specific units covering topics such as genomics in clinical practice, omics technologies and their medical applications, cancer genomics, diagnostic & screening tests, and research translation.
With the growing impact of genomic technologies across specialties like neurology, cardiology, oncology, nephrology and paediatrics, this programme is designed for clinicians who wish to integrate genomics into their practice and engage with precision medicine paradigms.
Upon successful completion, graduates are positioned to lead or participate in multidisciplinary genomic medicine teams, implement precision approaches in diagnosis and patient management, and potentially engage in further research or teaching roles.
