Overview
Key facts
No matter which medical specialty you choose, genomic medicine is increasingly becoming an integral part of patient care with the use of predictive clinical sequencing, pharmacogenetics, and whole-genome analysis.
University of Miami's Genomic Medicine program educational mission is to graduate clinicians with the ability to integrate genomic knowledge into their clinical practice. In collaboration with the Hussman Institute for Human Genomics, graduates will be trained in human genetics, family history, diagnostic genomic tests, high-throughput sequencing, pharmacogenomics, and the newest genomic concepts and approaches. The M.D./M.S. degree prepares students to be leaders in the adoption and integration of these methods in routine clinical care.
