More about this course
  • Powerful new technologies have been driving forward immense and exciting changes in clinical practice.
  • The days of peering down the microscope to detect chromosome abnormalities are gone, replaced by chromosome analysis at the genomic level. Invasive Down syndrome tests in pregnancy have made way for the evaluation of fetal DNA in maternal blood. And instead of laborious gene-by-gene targeted sequencing, we can now sequence all of our genes in parallel in a single experiment.
  • The course has been approved for distance-learning continuing professional development (CPD) by the Royal College of Pathologists (RCPath): for 10 CPD credits.
  • This postgraduate-level course, in combination with
  • , will help you understand these new and established genetic technologies, and their application to clinical practice.
  • This course focuses on
  • . By the end, you will be able to:
  • Both Genomic Technologies in Clinical Diagnostics courses draw on the experience of experts in clinical genetics and education at
  • .
  • The two courses will provide you with the teaching component of module 1 of the PGCert in
  • (PGCert ICAG) from St George's. To apply for the PGCert ICAG, you must be employed as a genetics trainee within the UK, and hold a national training number (NTN) in clinical genetics.
  • If you upgrade and complete both courses on FutureLearn and earn a Certificate of Achievement for each, you will have completed the teaching component of the module, should you apply to study at St George's.
