Course Information

Description

The field of genetic testing is expanding and evolving at an incredible rate, thanks to our growing knowledge of genetic conditions, dropping costs, and higher demand.

This rapid expansion has dramatically changed how we diagnose and screen for genetic conditions, who we test, and how informative the results are. Learning about the recent advances in genetic testing and sequencing technologies has important implications for anyone working in healthcare and related sectors.
