Stanford's curriculum is set up on the quarter system, and students will take 6 academic quarters of work, and conduct clinical rotations full time through the summer between their first and second years. The course distribution will allow students to take 1-3 elective courses in an area of their choice, such as Spanish language training, cancer biology, pediatrics and reproductive health issues, or biomedical ethics.
The program will utilize state of the art genomics resources that are well developed at Stanford, and train you to work with patients and clients in a wide range of settings and from multicultural backgrounds. The program provides a balance of cutting edge genomics technology with strong psychosocial counseling skills and research training.
All aspects of the training are tailored so that content is clinical applicable from the start. It emphasizes critical thinking skills that will be needed as genetics and genomics is increasingly translated into new clinical settings.
