We are proud to celebrate the accomplishments of alumna Anne Madeo. Anne spent the last eight years working at the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) in Bethesda, MD and just recently accepted a new position as the Associate Director of the Johns Hopkins University/National Human Genome Research Institute (JHU/NHGRI) Genetic Counseling Training Program.
Michigan graduates emerge as extremely well rounded clinicians, who are ready to meet the current challenges in clinical genetic medicine and are able to help guide the evolving practice of genetic counseling and genomic medicine.
The University of Michigan Genetic Counseling Program provides an individualized, integrated and supportive graduate training environment composed of:
- A comprehensive and rigorous academic curriculum
- Diverse clinical experiences
- A broad spectrum of research opportunities that supports the development of genetic counseling clinical scholars.
Most importantly, our graduate training program is responsive to the interests and unique needs of individual students.
The University of Michigan Genetic Counseling Program is one of the most well established programs in the country and exemplifies our long history of innovation in clinical services and education in Human Genetics - hallmarks of the University of Michigan medical community. It was founded in 1979, twenty-one years after the first genetics clinic and the first Department of Human Genetics in the United States were established at the University of Michigan.
