Clinical Exposure
The Scholars will shadow the four MD Medical Geneticists in the group. The students will interact with all members of the medical genetics team including: nurses, genetic counselors, and nutritionists. Additionally, the student will interact with the trainees on the Medical Genetics service including: Medical Genetics Residents, Pediatric Residents, Internal Medicine/Pediatric Residents and Genetic Counseling Masters Students. Interaction with the Medical Genetics residents will be especially important for the student who is interested in potentially pursuing a career in Medical Genetics.
The students will attend Medical Genetics Rounds (Memorial Hermann Hospital Medical Center Campus) and Medical Genetics Outpatient Clinics (UTPB clinic held three times per week; HCHD CEO Clinic one half day/month; Shriners Hospital for Children one half day/month; and Tuberous Sclerosis Clinic twice/month). Working with the medical genetics team in the clinical setting will afford the students the opportunity to learn firsthand about clinical medical genetics. The students will attend the weekly conferences of the Medical Genetics group. Medical Genetics Grand Rounds is held every Thursday morning 8-9 AM. At Medical Genetics Grand rounds, clinical topics are reviewed usually including two 30 minute power point presentations by trainees on the service with the input and help of the faculty. Toward the end of the summer training period, the student will provide a presentation for GRs centering around their project. Every Friday morning from 8-9 AM is our Clinical Genetics Sign-Out conference. For this conference, 5-10 cases from the previous week assessed in either the in-patient or out-patient setting are selected for in-depth presentation and input from all members of the team. The cases are generally a mixture of definite diagnoses and "unknown" diagnoses. We show pictures of the patients at this conference to better allow participants to appreciate the dysmorphic features. The Pre-Clinic Conference is held from 9-10 AM every Friday morning. At this working conference all of the patients scheduled for our outpatient clinics in the coming week are reviewed with all of the trainees on the Medical Genetics service.
The Scholar will be required to provide a presentation at the DSHS in Austin at the end of the program. The Scholar will receive help and coaching for the DSHS and grand rounds presentations from their mentors.
