University of Washington

The University of Washington, Seattle offers an Advanced Practice Genetics Nursing Program (Master of Nursing degree). The program requires five quarters of full-time study, with a variety of part-time options. Students who complete the series of courses from the School of Public Health (PHG) can receive a certificate in Public Health Genetics in the Context of Law, Ethics and Policy. Students with a primary interest in other nursing fields may apply for a minor in genetics nursing. The minor in genetics will provide the graduate student with the knowledge to interpret the rapidly generated findings from the human genome project that will impact their clinical practice in areas such as oncology, cardiovascular, neonatal nursing or nurse midwifery.
