The Division of Human Genetics and the Pediatric Residency Program offer a five-year combined program leading to eligibility for certification in both Genetics and Pediatrics. This program has been approved by both The American Board of Pediatrics and The American Board of Medical Genetics.

Applicants match to this program by matching with the categorical pediatric program as the first year is identical to the PL-1 year. Applicants are urged to make their interest in this option known at the time of applying through ERAS.

Further information on the combined program can be obtained through the Office of Medical Education at Connecticut Children's Medical Center, 860-545-9970 or by email to the Residency Program Coordinator, Aida Vélez, avelez@ccmckids.org, or to the Fellowship Program Coordinator, Veronica Tomlinson, vtomlin@ccmckids.org.
