About Bradford C. Powell, MD, PhD, FACMG

Genetic information has great potential to guide medical care. Using this information effectively requires identifying when it is appropriate to have genetic testing, what the appropriate test is, and clearly communicating the implications of this testing. I chose clinical genetics as a field to help use this exciting technology to help people understand when this information might be important to their health.
