NP in genetics?

Do any NP's specialize in genetics? As I am shuffling through ideas of what my next venture is going to be, I look back as my childhood aspirations and I distinctly recall wanting to become a clinical geneticist (MD). This desire was fueled by the fact I saw a genetics MD, once or twice a year - due to my genetic condition. Thankfully, I never developed any serious complications. However, I remember how badly I wanted to be a genetics specialist.

Well, I ended up being an ICU Nurse. (=

I am projected to start NP school next fall (2020).

My question is, any NP's work with genetic MDs? genetic clinics?

    Not sure if this is helpful as I'm not an NP (yet ?) but I am good friends with an NP who specializes in genetics and I work with another as well. My friend (who is as brilliant as he is compassionate...truly one of a kind but I digress) received her genetics training from the City of Hope training program. Try doing a bit of research on that program and I"m sure you'll find not only helpful information, but a plethora of wonderful NPs who are doing just what you're considering. Given that I work in a not so large city at a local community hospital, the NPs I've referenced practice independently and not under a Geneticist (MD) because there simply isn't one available. They have an overseeing MD who does chart reviews but they know far more regarding genetics than the overseeing md (at least my friend does)
