<p>Yeah, agreed with smallchild. If anything, it should be the exact opposite. Pick on intellectual curiosity not lifestyle.</p>
<p>There is a ‘medical genetics’ residency field. It requires 2 years of a post-grad medical education, before starting the 2 year medical genetics program. Most people will go through a pediatrics residency since most genetic concerns take place during childhood, but I do know a couple of people who are doing OB/GYN before starting their genetics program.</p>
