Yamnia Cortes was one of just 24 nurse scholars selected to attend the 4wk intensive NINR Summer Genetics Institute (SGI). This is a one-month intensive training program at the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland. Participants were provided with 160 hours of lectures and laboratory training in molecular genetics. The purpose of the SGI is to provide graduate students and faculty a foundation in genetics for use in research and clinical practice.
Congratulations to Yamnia!
