[@DrAdnan]

Also, sorry for the audio quality!

[@AbigailSteele]

This video has thrown so much light on my prospective career path. Thank you

[@chelseaaguilar2525]

Wow, thank you! I had no idea genetics was a medical specialty! I thought it was completely separate! I had no idea I’m so excited I know what I want to do now!! ❤️

[@DrAdnan]

No problem- I’m so happy you found your niche! Good luck on your journey!!

[@invictuous9222]

Amazing video I definitely subscribed! How much pharmacology knowledge do you think medical geneticists get to use each day or would that be mostly used for research and academia?

[@DrAdnan]

Thanks Bob! I think it’s more cursory unless they’re doing research, working for a pharmaceutical company, etc

[@Saisoo]

I was wondering if you could interview a medical lab scientist, it's my major in uni right now and I'd love to learn more through someone's experience :)

[@DrAdnan]

It’s difficult to get in contact with people right now, but I’ll work on it!

[@billbelzek6748]

Great interview, bro --- little distracting with all the kiddies making noise in the background, but I realize this was probably beyond your control so you can't be blamed for it

[@DrAdnan]

Thanks Bill! Yeah, unfortunately that was the best area I could find at the time. Hope you still found it useful!

[@sudo4526]

Good questions mate!

[@DrAdnan]

[@heartusmle7905]

What program is this ? And can you share the professors details .

[@DrAdnan]

UC Davis! It’s probably under the clinical genetics department

[@subikshaarul7524]

Can we do surgery residency first, then years after clinical genetics residency?

[@DrAdnan]

You could, but honestly it would be very physically and psychologically taxing, and would be a poor financial decision. However, if you really wanted to you could do multiple residencies.

[@storytime4504]

I did masters and mphil in molecular genetics with more than 70% Mark's. I want to peruse career as a clinical genetics in uk .What degree do I need to pursue for becoming clinical geneticist?

[@DrAdnan]

Sorry I’m in America so I’m not sure. I’d guess become a doctor first and then specialize like over here

[@sandeepsahu9244]

If my skin's healthy skin microbiomes become imbalanced, can my child also have a deficiency of healthy skin microbiomes in his hands ? Please answer me sir/mam

[@DrAdnan]

If you’re concerned about your child’s health I’d recommend visiting a physician
