Medical genetic services, including clinical genetics, cytogenetics, biochemical and molecular genetics and paternity testing, are performed in Colombia in the more developed medical schools or university institutions, in nine major cities of the country. Accessibility to genetic services is limited by medical care reimbursement laws which do not cover clinical genetic services nor genetic tests. Paternity testing is performed free of charge by a governmental welfare institution, if a legal claim is made against an alleged father. Basic teaching of genetics in medical schools is mandatory, but is very uneven and limited to the better schools. Postgraduate medical genetic training is offered by four different programs of similar quality. Research is performed on some of the most prevalent genetic conditions and on population genetic issues.
