The responsibilities of the position will include in-patient consultations and out-patient medical genetics clinics, which together with area of focus will be tailored to the candidate's clinical interests and experience. Opportunities are available for clinical research, clinical trials, and collaboration with basic science researchers. Our clinical genetics, cancer genetics and biochemical genetics programs are supported by dedicated genetic counselors, specialized nurses and dieticians, and social workers. There are also strong institution-wide genomics initiatives through the Institute for Precision Health. The forthcoming Division of Clinical Genetics hosts an ABMGG-accredited Medical Genetics residency, a T32 training grant, a Masters in Genetic Counseling program, and multiple ABMGG-accredited Laboratory Genetics training programs. Faculty members have numerous opportunities for teaching across a variety of academic programs. Teaching of medical students, residents, fellows, and genetic counseling trainees is expected. Opportunities for clinical research may be available.
