Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A clinical laboratory geneticist is either a physician with an MD or a DO (doctor of osteopathy) degree or a PhD degree in genetics or relevant biological science. Specialty training for certification is an additional 24-month fellowship in a program approved by the American Board of Medical Genetics (ABMG). These individuals can then be certified by examination through the ABMG in at least one of three subspecialties: cytogenetics, molecular genetics, or biochemical genetics. A technician (laboratory or cytogenetic) performs the actual test under the direction of a clinical laboratory geneticist but does not interpret the tests or warrant the quality of the work. A medical geneticist does not perform or oversee genetic testing.
