<p>But can you even do the Clinical/Med Genetics residency without first completing at least 24 months of a Primary Residency? The 6 programs I looked at all require at least 24 months of some residency prior to accepting an application into the Clinical Genetics residency/Fellowship?</p>
<p>It appears that to be Board Certified in Clinical Genetics requires at least 48 months post graduate training. It does appear there are several Laboratory Genetics certifications that are 24 months, but this would seem to severely limit direct patient contact. </p>
