Following the successful establishment of the seminar series with almost 500 participants from German-speaking countries, we are pleased to announce the international launch of the English edition of our course series.
This structured programme is designed as a two-year curriculum, based on the European specialist in human genetics and covering the full spectrum of clinical genetics in weekly 30-minute livestream sessions. The format allows for easy integration into your weekly routine while offering continuity and depth in professional education.
Year 1 focuses on building a strong foundation of clinical genetics by exploring a broad range of topics such as chromosome abnormalities, neurodevelopmental disorders, cancer predisposition syndromes, overgrowth syndromes, and conditions that go along with short stature. For each condition, clinical features, differential diagnoses, genetic causes, genetic counseling, therapeutic approaches, and clinical management will be discussed. Each session is concise, practice-oriented, and delivered by experienced professionals in the field.
Whether you're starting your journey in clinical genetics or seeking to deepen your knowledge, this course is an ideal opportunity for continuous development in compact, high-yield units.

The target audience includes not only interested parties from Germany, but is also expressly aimed at specialists from all over Europe.
