Diploma Course in Medical
Genetics (PGDMG) |
Duration
- 12 months (4 Blocks)
This batch is tailored to suit the needs of medical
professionals. In addition to the other com mon
modules, including the lab based module, this batch will
delve deep into Clinical Genetics which will include
genetic counseling, clinical rotations, case discussions
etc. In brief, the students would go through a broad range
of genetic sub-specialties such as basic cell biology,
cytogenetics, developmental genetics, immunogenetics,
biochemical genetics, cancer genetics, pharmacogenetics,
molecular genetics, genetic engineering, clinical
genetics, prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling. The
management of patients involving multiple modalities will
also be included in the program.
Overall the program will provide a strong foundation in
all areas of medical genetics with opportunities for
hands-on laboratory and clinical experience. The program
includes lectures, hands-on practicals, classroom
discussions, tutorial sessions, seminars, research paper
presentations and block end assessment sessions.
Depending on the module under study, the schedule will be
suitably modified to incorporate clinical rotations,
clinical case discussions, field visits, genetic
counseling sessions, medical camps etc.
The program is supported and validated by the members of
the advisory Board, who are recognized experts in Medical
Genetics and related domains. |
