Genetics & Metabolism

The Genetics and Metabolism program is based at the Health Sciences Centre and offers consultation service throughout the Region.

Our mission is to provide leadership in delivering comprehensive high-quality, accessible genetic, metabolic, and related care for Manitoba and other adjacent areas in a timely, patient and family focused fashion.

The program strives for excellence in teaching and research and actively participates in policy development at provincial, national and international levels. The care is multidisciplinary in scope and is available through patient consultations, ambulatory care facilities within the Region and through the use of Manitoba Telehealth to reach communities distant from Winnipeg.

We envision working in an environment that has sufficient staffing to provide for sick leave, education and vacation coverage and which encourages and promotes ongoing education of staff. We partner with other members of the health care team to improve the health of the population.

We continue to evaluate our program to ensure the highest quality of care. Our Program achieved full Program Status within the Region in September 2004.
