Medical Biochemical Genetics Fellowship
The Medical Biochemical Genetics fellowship is a one year training experience that provides an integrated approach to the diagnosis and management of patients with inborn errors of metabolism. The program integrates all aspects of clinical patient care including both inpatient and outpatient settings and laboratory diagnosis throughout the year. During the clinical months, a combination of inpatient and outpatient responsibilities will allow fellows to maintain continuity of care in the management of patients with metabolic diseases. Didactic sessions and clinical conferences are ongoing throughout the year.
Laboratory Medical Genetics Fellowship Training
The UAB Department of Genetics offers postdoctoral fellowship training in both Clinical Laboratory Genetics and Genomics (LGG; 36 months) and Clinical Biochemical Genetics (CBG; 24 months). These programs are accredited by the American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ABMGG).
Molecular/Genetic Pathology Fellowship
The University of Alabama at Birmingham Departments of Pathology and Genetics jointly offer a one-year ACGME accredited clinical fellowship in molecular genetic pathology. The fellowship is designed to train academically oriented pathologists and medical geneticists for a career in molecular genetic pathology, including hematology/oncology, infectious diseases, identity testing, molecular diagnostics of Mendelian disorders, cytogenetics, and medical genetics. After completion of this program, the fellow will be eligible to take the Molecular Genetic Pathology board examination cosponsored by ABP and ABMG.
