About the Program
The Clinical Research Education Training Program is a short-term summer training program that gives first and second-year medical students from first generation and socio-economically disadvantaged communities the opportunity to gain clinical research experience within the field of medical genetics. The purpose of this program is centered on increasing underserved individuals in medicine with the long-term goal of supporting a comprehensive community of clinical trainees pursuing medical genetics careers.

- Biocuration training
- Friday noon conference (current clinical genetics residents demonstrate how evaluations and modern clinical genetic testing lead to molecular diagnosis along with clinical management)
- Clinical observation
- Professional development sessions (grant writing, creating an individual development plan, health, wellness, and resilience training)
