Overview
The field of genetic testing is expanding and evolving at an incredible rate, thanks to our growing knowledge of genetic conditions, dropping costs, and higher demand.
Prospectives
This rapid expansion has dramatically changed how we diagnose and screen for genetic conditions, who we test, and how informative the results are. Learning about the recent advances in Genetic Testing and Sequencing Technologies at Harvard Medical School Online has important implications for anyone working in health care and related sectors.

General requirements
- If you are not taking HMX courses through a school or company, you will need to fill out a brief application that gives us some basic information about you and what you hope to get out of the HMX courses. You will also need to confirm that you’ve met the recommended prerequisites.
- We recommend knowledge of basic chemistry, biology, and physics for all HMX courses. For HMX Fundamentals courses and HMX Pro Essentials courses, no advanced knowledge is required.
- Advanced HMX Pro courses focus on a specific topic in depth; in order to get the most from these courses, participants should have some knowledge of the underlying topic (for example, genetics or immunology). Those requiring further background may choose to take an accompanying Essentials course, or consider our HMX Fundamentals courses for a more broad overview.
