Comprehensive residency training for clinicians in medical genetics, including clinical and laboratory experience, at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.

--- ## Description The Clinical Medical Genetics Residency at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, is a rigorous two-year program (with an optional third year for advanced specialization) designed to train physicians in all aspects of clinical medical genetics. Residents gain extensive, hands-on experience with both pediatric and adult patients, including prenatal cases, and are exposed to a wide range of genetic disorders—monogenic, chromosomal, mitochondrial, multifactorial, and teratogenic. The curriculum includes rotations through cytogenetics, biochemical, and molecular laboratories, emphasizing the applications and limitations of laboratory testing in genetic diagnosis. Residents work closely with a multidisciplinary team, including board-certified geneticists, counselors, laboratory directors, nutritionists, and allied health professionals, preparing them for board certification in clinical genetics and, optionally, further specialization in biochemical genetics or laboratory genetics and genomics. --- ## Due Dates - January 2026 (anticipated application deadline; submit via Mayo Clinic Ellucian CRM system) *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - Residents receive a standard stipend and benefits according to Mayo Clinic Graduate Medical Education (GME) policies. - The program covers two years (with an optional third year for advanced specialization). - Stipend and benefits information can be found on the [Mayo Clinic Stipend and Benefits page](https://college.mayo.edu/academics/residencies-and-fellowships/admissions-and-benefits/stipend-and-benefits/). --- ## Eligibility - Applicants must have graduated from an accredited medical school. - Completion of at least one year of postgraduate clinical training (e.g., internship or residency in a relevant field) is typically required. - Both U.S. and international medical graduates are eligible to apply. - International graduates must meet additional requirements, such as ECFMG certification and visa eligibility. - Applicants should demonstrate a strong interest in clinical genetics and a commitment to multidisciplinary patient care. --- ## Application Process - Applications are submitted through the [Mayo Clinic application system (Ellucian CRM)](https://mccms.elluciancrmrecruit.com/Apply/Account/Login). - Required materials typically include a CV, personal statement, medical school transcripts, letters of recommendation, and proof of postgraduate clinical training. - For detailed instructions, visit the [Application Process page](https://college.mayo.edu/academics/residencies-and-fellowships/clinical-medical-genetics-residency-minnesota/application-process/). - Interviews are offered to selected candidates. - Check the program website for updates on application windows and required documentation. --- ## Additional Information - The program is ACGME-accredited. - The optional third year enables further certification in biochemical genetics or laboratory genetics and genomics, contingent on training slot availability. - Graduates have a strong track record of board certification success (ABMGG). - The residency emphasizes a team-based, multidisciplinary approach to patient care. --- ## External Links - [Program Overview](https://college.mayo.edu/academics/residencies-and-fellowships/clinical-medical-genetics-residency-minnesota/) - [Application Process](https://college.mayo.edu/academics/residencies-and-fellowships/clinical-medical-genetics-residency-minnesota/application-process/) - [Stipend and Benefits](https://college.mayo.edu/academics/residencies-and-fellowships/admissions-and-benefits/stipend-and-benefits/) - [Mayo Clinic Graduate Medical Education](https://college.mayo.edu/academics/residencies-and-fellowships/) - [Funder Home Page](https://www.mayoclinic.org) --- ## Contact Information | Name / Role | Email | Phone | |----------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|---------------| | Stephanie Putzier, Education Program Coordinator | [putzier.stephanie1@mayo.edu](mailto:putzier.stephanie1@mayo.edu) | 507-284-2511 | | Radhika Dhamija, M.B.B.S., Program Director | See [program contact page](https://college.mayo.edu/admissions-and-tuition/contact/) | | | Myra Wick, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Program Director | See [program contact page](https://college.mayo.edu/admissions-and-tuition/contact/) | |
