Latest Genetics Interview Questions and Answers PDF free download
1. What is your favorite thing or area in clinical genetics?
Well, the amazing thing about clinical genetics (also known as Genetic Medicine) to me is that it takes the field of genetics... a relatively new area of research in which so much has yet to be done... and begins to apply it practically to benefit those in need.
For example, counseling for prospective parents includes creating a genetic "tree" that helps trace problem genes through a couple's family to help identify the risk of serious disease in children they may want to bear.
And even when a child has been conceived, children with certain genetic diseases can now be diagnosed even before they are born!
And, to make things even more exciting, certain genetic diseases (such as Cystic Fibrosis) that were once only able to be managed or controlled by conventional medicine, are now the subject of trials aimed to CURE the disease by fixing the very DNA at fault.
2. What did you do to get into the field of clinical genetics?
I have not currently pursued the field of clinical genetics as a profession because I am just graduating medical school, but I do have clinical experience in the matter as a medical student. It is also a career consideration of mine.
However, some basic things are a must:
a) Going to college and choosing a major with biology/medical sciences in mind.
b) Postgraduate studies are also going to be required if you choose to actively engage in the field of clinical genetics. Most frequently, getting admission and graduating from a medical school is the best bet, after which specialization can be focused on genetic diseases.
3. What type of degrees are required to get a job in clinical genetics?
Clinical work with patients almost always requires an MD (or equivalent) degree awarded by a four-year medical school. Usually, this is preceded by a four year bachelor's degree at an undergraduate college.
After completing the four-year medical program, an internship and residency program is frequently done with emphasis in the field of specialization (in this case, genetic medicine). Fellowships can also be pursued in the respective fields after achieving consultant status.
However, genetic counseling and areas of research can be done by those with an MSc or PhD in the subject matter.
4. If you had not chosen clinical genetics what field would you have chosen?
That's a very interesting question. Honestly, biomedical engineering also has a very special place in my heart. It's also a progressive new area of medical science that is helping people in new ways every day. Frequently, the fields even overlap! If I won't do clinical genetics, then perhaps I would pursue biomedical engineering.
5. What have you learned about working in clinical genetics?
Like all clinical fields, it's very demanding work, but also very rewarding. A sound knowledge of the subject matter, manual skill developed through experience, and interpersonal social skills required to interact with a wide variety of peoples are all needed to do the job right. Genetic diseases can be of a very sensitive nature to people who are afflicted with them - and a compassionate touch is often necessary in order to relate with and console those in distress.When I've worked with patients during my ward rotations, it is always a very satisfying feeling knowing you are doing your best to help others.
