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 Ph.D. programs.
- Most of our students are
pre-med, and while it varies from year to year, we estimate that close to
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, Ph.D. 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
