Overview

The goal of the curriculum of the online graduate certificate program focused on Clinical Genetics and Genomics from University of Connecticut targets acquisition of a knowledge base and skill set in clinical genetics and genomics using unique, innovative, and research-proven strategies eliciting engagement and interactivity within the online platform.

Graduates will be poised to advance in a current position, pursue further graduate training, or seek a new entry-level career in this dynamic field of study.

It is essential for all health care professionals to have a solid understanding of genetics and genomics given the rapidly evolving nature of this medical specialty, an increasing awareness and thirst for knowledge about personal health risks and genetics from the public sector, and the strengthened links between genomics and health outcomes.

Through this online certificate program, you will gain an understanding of:

The mechanisms by which genetic and genomic variations influence health and contribute to human disease.
The foundational concepts and application of genetics and genomics in the context of human disease.
Fundamental mechanisms underlying typical and atypical development related to human embryology and teratology.
The theoretical framework, skill sets, and applications necessary to provide scientific communication of genetics and genomics, clinical resources, diagnoses, and counseling in the clinical setting.
The principles, clinical applications, and interpretation of genetic and genomic testing methods.
