Detroit Medical Center/Wayne State University is seeking applications from qualified candidates for a 1-year ACGME-accredited Medical Biochemical Genetics Fellowship, beginning in July 2013. This fellowship will provide training for physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with metabolic disorders. A medical biochemical geneticist demonstrates competence in the diagnosis and medical management of individuals of all ages with inborn errors of metabolism.

The one-year training program includes intensive management of children and adults with inborn errors of metabolism. The majority of training takes place in the Division of Genetic and Metabolic Disorders at Children’s Hospital of Michigan, including outpatient management in the Children’s Hospital of Michigan’s Metabolic Clinic (CHMMC) and in-patient consultations and management at the Detroit Medical Center. The CHMMC is the State of Michigan’s designated management site for newborn screening follow-up and management for all infants diagnosed through the Newborn Screening Program. Training also includes experience in treating patients with enzyme replacement therapy. Additional time is spent in the Biochemical Genetics Laboratory at the Detroit Medical Center and in the State of Michigan’s Newborn Screening Laboratory. Training leads to active candidacy for the American Board of Medical Genetics subspecialty in Medical Biochemical Genetics.

Applicants should have completed an ACGME-accredited Medical Genetics Residency prior to July 2013 and have a medical license.
