Genetics Journal Club

This is a weekly meeting. By participating in this activity, the participant should be able to identify new diagnostic methodologies and strategies in clinical genetics. The participant should have an awareness of the way in which the application of these to our patient population can be facilitated. 

Clinical and Molecular Genetics Case Review Conference

This is a weekly meeting. By participating in this activity, the participant should be able to describe and review roundtable discussion of the current inpatient / outpatient cases in the areas of cancer, connective tissue, general genetics and metabolic genetics, as well as reviewing current cytogenetic cases.
