Human Genetics – Radboudumc

The department of Human Genetics considers its teaching responsibilities top priority. Good education in genetics is essential for medical students, medical specialists, general practitioners, and future scientists. We have a clear responsibility to society, as a personal DNA profile will become as ordinary as a determination of your hemoglobin levels. Since the interpretation of this huge amount of complex genetic data will ultimately be done by (medical) specialists and should be understandable for (family) doctors in primary care, our goal is to provide high-quality education of basic genetics for all healthcare professionals.

The department participates in the curricula of Medical Sciences, Biomedical Sciences,Biology, Dentistry, as well as in the Masters program Molecular Mechanisms of Disease. Specific courses that are organized include Medical Genomics, Human Genetics, Genomics and Statistics andGenetic and Metabolic Diseases. In total, more than 50 lecturers contribute their expertise to more than 25 courses, accentuating the central position that the field of genetics holds in life sciences.
