With an aim to expand National Inherited Disorders Administration Kendras (NIDAN Kendras) to provide comprehensive clinical care including diagnosis, management, multidisciplinary care, counselling, prenatal testing at Government Hospitals/ Medical Colleges, the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India has launched a 6-month ‘Fellowship in Genetic Diagnostics’ for Faculty/Clinicians only from Government Medical Colleges and Hospitals.

 

Four trainees in a year (in two batches) will be taken by each centre. In the current era of genomics, genetics has become an integral component of medicine. This platform would offer a great opportunity to Govt. Hospitals and Medical Colleges by training their permanent faculty, physicians and scientists who are keen to develop Genetic Facilities to cater the need of patients, says DBT.

 

The program will provide training in cytogenetic and molecular genetic techniques along with the understanding about their applications in patient care. Under this program well-established centres with facilities for diagnosis and management of genetic disorders have been selected to provide training.
