The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) offers a two-year ACGME accredited fellowship in Laboratory Genetics and Genomics. This program prepares fellows to interpret a wide range of clinical cytogenetic and molecular genetic tests for the diagnosis and management of human genetic disorders and cancer. Fellows gain experience in all aspects of sample preparation, analyses and reporting by rotating through three clinical genetics laboratories at the University of Iowa.

Fellows are exposed to many indications for genetic testing by attending pediatric, adult, prenatal and cancer genetics clinics and leukemia tumor boards at UIHC. They will also participate in test validation, quality control, and regulator compliance activities within the laboratory. 

This training program satisfies the requirements for the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ABMGG) examination in Laboratory Genetics and Genomics
