Program overview
MGA Medical Global Academy’s Fellowship in Pediatric Genetics and Metabolic Disorders is an advanced, clinically oriented program for healthcare professionals interested in gaining an understanding of how to diagnose and treat genetic and metabolic disorders in children. This fellowship is part of the academic training and gaining clinical experience in genetic counseling, biochemical investigations, genomic medicine and metabolic management. The course focuses on pediatric genetics, inborn errors of metabolism, neurogenetics, mitochondrial disorders, genomic sequencing, personalized medicine, pediatric endocrinology, hematology, cardiology, and advanced diagnostic techniques. Fellows receive training in the multidisciplinary management of patients, ethical issues, study design and analysis, as well as novel therapies like precision medicine and gene therapy. The programme is designed to train clinicians to enter specialised paediatric genetic practice, research, and to become more advanced managers of patients.
