Genetics
The Genetics course reviews basic genetic principles, new genetic mechanisms and current molecular technology that is available to diagnose genetic and/or genetically influenced diseases in clinical medicine. Students will gain insight into approaches to diagnosis, management, genetic counseling, and also the emotional issues that they must deal with related to these entities through the use of different teaching methods including problem-based learning and patient/parent Interviews. Knowledge that is gained through classroom participation and written materials will be useful in caring for patients in clerkships, electives and medical practice.
