  4. Choose an accredited program and supervised practice; verify education, licensing and admission requirements first.
  5. Review 20–30 vacancies and choose only courses or certificates that repeatedly appear in employer requirements.
  6. Rewrite your résumé for Clinical Genomics Coordinator, add the case and begin with test applications, internships, projects or adjacent tasks at your current employer.
