The Master of Health Science in Medical Genomics is a 5 session, full-time professional master’s degree program offered by the Department of Molecular Genetics, Faculty of Medicine.  It consists of 9.0 Full Course Equivalents, including a capstone practicum in the last session of the degree program. Genomics, the ability to read and interpret information contained within DNA, is a rapidly growing area with broad reaching implications from bench to bedside. The MHSc in Medical Genomics responds to the growing knowledge gap between clinical practice and the discoveries stemming from genome-scale research in human genetics as advances in systems biology are outpacing the ability of undergraduate medical and scientific teaching to prepare medical and technical staff.  The new degree program will provide both laboratory and clinical-focussed students with the theory and practical knowledge necessary to incorporate genomics data into medical practice. Potential applicants will be either working physicians or laboratory professionals. The curriculum will consist of lecture, discussion, and project-based courses across five sessions, with the intent to teach direct actionable skills and knowledge in world where genetic and genomic data are routinely collected and analyzed across a wide range of patients and populations and medical indications. Depending on their background, students will either choose the Practicum in Patient Management and Medical Genomics, geared to those in patient facing medical fields, or Practicum in Modern Genomics, which focuses on the laboratory and state-of-the-art genomics techniques.
