Fellows spend their two years within an integrated clinical cytogenetics and molecular genetics laboratory setting. Fellows rotate in the Shivanand R Patil Cytogenetics and Molecular Laboratory, Molecular Pathology Laboratory, and Molecular Otolaryngology and Renal Research Laboratories all located at the University of Iowa. This allows for exposure to many test methodologies utilized in clinical genetics laboratories including:

• Constitutional cytogenetics
• Cancer cytogenetics
• FISH
• CMA
• Sequencing assays
• Quantitative and qualitative molecular assays
• Fragile X testing
• NGS and exome/genome sequencing

During training, fellows will undertake a two-week rotation in Biochemical Genetics at UIHC and the Iowa State Hygienic Laboratory
