NHGRI/DIR Medical Genetics Training Programs

医学遗传学培训计划负责培训临床遗传学，分子遗传学，临床和医学生化遗传学以及细胞遗传学方面的医生和博士水平的科学家，使他们有资格参加美国医学遗传学委员会提供的认证考试。医学遗传学培训计划包括：大都会华盛顿特区医学遗传学住院医师计划，大都会华盛顿特区医学遗传学奖学金计划，大都会华盛顿特区医学生化遗传学住院医师计划，国立卫生研究院/儿童国家医学中心联合儿科医学遗传学住院医师计划。这些项目为寻求临床遗传学、细胞遗传学、分子遗传学、临床生化遗传学和医学生化遗传学委员会认证的医学博士和博士提供培训。自1997年以来，我们在这些专业培训了100多名研究员。培训地点包括美国国立卫生研究院、国家儿童医疗中心（CNMC）、沃尔特·里德陆军医疗中心、华盛顿医院中心、Quest Diagnostics和GeneDx。其他地点包括约翰霍普金斯大学、马里兰大学医学中心、马里兰州新生儿筛查实验室和CNMC的生化诊断实验室，都是为有特定兴趣的研究员提供选修培训的地点。临床、生化遗传学和儿科/医学遗传学研究员在美国国立卫生研究院担任全职职位。参加分子遗传学和细胞遗传学项目的个人在项目/NHGRI支持的基础设施下接受培训时，可以从实验室获得薪水。NHGRI支持的基础设施包括教师、实验室设置和一次性用品预算、课程材料、科学会议和书籍的旅行津贴。该计划因其在遗传学培训方面的深度和广度以及培养的学员数量而得到全国认可。美国国立卫生研究院的精英研究环境也为研究员提供了一个独特的机会，在他们的培训期间进行研究，优化他们成为遗传学世界未来领导者的潜力。

The Medical Genetics Training Program is responsible for training physicians and Ph.D.level scientists in clinical genetics, molecular genetics, clinical and medical biochemical genetics and cytogenetics to become Board eligible to sit for the certification exam offered by the American Board of Medical Genetics. The Medical Genetics Training Program includes: the Metropolitan Washington DC Medical Genetics Residency Program, the Metropolitan Washington DC Medical Genetics Fellowship Program, the Metropolitan Washington DC Medical Biochemical Genetics Residency Program, the NIH/Children's National Medical Center Combined Pediatrics Medical Genetics Residency Program. These programs provide training for MDs and or Ph.Ds who seek Board certification in Clinical Genetics, Cytogenetics, Molecular Genetics, Clinical Biochemical Genetics and Medical Biochemical Genetics. Since 1997 we have trained over 100 fellows in these specialties. Training sites include the NIH, Children's National Medical Center(CNMC), Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington Hospital Center, Quest Diagnostics and GeneDx. Other sites including Johns Hopkins, University of Maryland Medical Center, the Maryland State Newborn Screening lab and the Biochemical Diagnostics lab at CNMC are elective training sites for Fellows with specific interests. The Clinical, Biochemical Genetics and Pediatric/Medical Genetics Fellows hold full time positions at the National Institutes of Health. Individuals enrolled in the Molecular Genetics and Cytogenetics program have salaries from their labs while they train under the Program/NHGRI supported infrastructure. NHGRI supported infrastructure includes faculty, laboratory settings with budget for disposables, course materials, travel allowance for scientific meetings and books. This program is nationally recognized for both its depth and breadth of training in genetics as well as the number of trainees it has produced. The elite research setting of the National Institutes of Health also provide Fellows with a unique opportunity to do research during their training optimizing their potential to be future leaders in the world of genetics.
