Introduction

You are a medical intern who has a patient that has come to you not feeling well. Based on the patient's symptoms, you will make a diagnosis of the patient's disease. Once you have diagnosed and researched the disease, you will then report your findings to your fellow colleagues at the Genetic Disease Conference for medical interns.

At the conference you will learn about a wide variety of genetic diseases and disorders. You will gain an understanding that mutations can affect the function of an organism and can result in diseases and how those diseases are inherited. You will hopefully develop compassion for people with diseases. You will also collaborate on possible ideas that could lead to further scientific research for these diseases.
