The Genomics and Predictive Health Certificate
The Genomics and Predictive Health certificate is offered to provide master's and Ph.D. students an integrated background in the field of genomics and predictive health. The certificate program covers advancements in the field of personalized medicine, DNA sequencing technologies and commercial applications of genetic research. A minimum of 12 graduate credits of coursework is required to provide core experiences in the various predictive health domains (disease discovery, customized therapies and prevention). Although the program is centered within the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, faculty from other FAU colleges and institutions contribute to the program's success, and students from many departments and colleges throughout the University are welcomed.
Genomics and predictive health is a broad, interdisciplinary field focused on understanding and improving human health. It incorporates diverse areas of specialized investigation that share this common goal including anatomy, biochemistry, cell biology, clinical sciences, cognitive sciences, development, genetics, immunology, medical sciences, microbiology, molecular biology, pathology, pharmacology, psychology and others.
Graduate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
