The Hayward Genetics Center offers a 1-year, post-baccalaureate Master in Medical Genetics and Genomics. This multidisciplinary program gives graduates an in-depth understanding of the rapidly advancing field of clinical human genetics. It is designed to prepare qualified individuals for careers in the health sciences, and to provide an educational experience that will enhance the opportunity of being admitted into a postgraduate professional school such as medical school or PhD programs.
- Most of our students are pre-med, and while it varies
from year to year, we estimate that over 90% of our graduates who apply to
medical school or osteopathy school have been accepted in subsequent
years.
- In addition to medical school, graduates from our
program have also gone on to other careers including dental school, PhD
programs, genetic counseling masters programs, and working with biomedical
technology companies.
- The curriculum includes courses that cover the same
material as medical schools’ Genetics courses and first year Medical
Biochemistry courses.
- We offer clinical shadowing opportunities in the Tulane
Genetics clinics
