NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Signature Genomic Laboratories today said that it will be a partner site for Sacred Heart Medical Center’s genetic fellowship program, which recently received accreditation from the American Board of Medical Genetics.
Spokane, Wash.-based Signature Genomic Labs offers microarray-based cytogenetic diagnostic testing services. The firm’s Chief Medical Officer, Bassem Bejjani, who also is co-director of the molecular diagnostics lab of the Spokane medical center, said that Signature’s microarray testing “was instrumental in ABMG’s decision to offer accreditation” to Sacred Heart’s program.
The accreditation program allows doctors to complete a two-year training program in clinical cytogenetics or clinical molecular genetics at Sacred Heart and its partner sites at Signature and Inland Northwest Genetics Clinic.
