Congratulations to Pedro and Angela, two ADMI Postdoctoral Fellows, who recently matched into residency! We are excited you will be staying with the Geisinger system!
What a happy day! I am extremely proud to share this achievement with you. The specialty of my dreams with my dream partner. I can't ask for more! #futureradres #futurepedres #Geisinger
.@GeisingerADMI team members led by @amorenodeluca recently published a meta-analysis examining diagnostic yield of exome sequencing in cerebral palsy. Data support use of exome sequencing in evaluation of cerebral palsy @GeisingerRsrch
Meta-analysis of genetic testing in cerebral palsy (CP) found a diagnostic yield of exome sequencing (ES) of 31%, supporting the inclusion of CP in the current recommendation of ES as a first-tier test for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. ja.ma/3kLEId5

ALT Image of Donna Welsh, MA, NCC, LPC with the following quote - "The most interesting people you'll find are ones that don't fit into your average cardboard box. They'll make what they need, they'll make their own boxes." - Dr. Temple Grandin. Why I love to care for our patients: I love that I often meet with families of young children because we know that early identification and early intervention improves long-term outcomes for children with autism. Giving a family hope that their child can improve in the challenges that they are facing is a great feeling.”
