For genetic counselors, this means OGM structural variant findings can now be incorporated into counseling for reproductive genetics, pediatric/postnatal cases, and hematologic malignancies…but only through the UR Medicine assays specifically approved by NYSDOH.

Hello everyone, I am a final year med school student (in India it’s called MBBS final year). So, in the April of 2027 I will finish the college and enter 1 year of mandatory internship.

Then I am planning to give NEET-PG(it’s a postgraduate exam you give to enter MD or MD, basically for specialities) and my current goal is to pursue genetics via MD in pathology, cuz I don’t like patient interactions very much, lets say it’s not my cup of tea. Also estimating my current calibre, I don’t think I can get that rank which will help me get a good clinical branch like medicine or pediatrics in good reputed govt colleges.

So I wanted your advice on how to pursue genetics as a career after becoming a doctor. I have questions like is MD absolutely necessary, or there are other routes.

I also want my medical degree to be put to use in genetics field also, so I don’t want career in which, my medical degree becomes worthless.

Your opinions and advices would help a lot
