Thomas Mcdonald, MD
Clinical Genetics
About
Dr. Thomas McDonald was born in Florida and graduated from the University of South Florida. He completed his MD degree at the University of Florida, residency in Internal Medicine at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, and went on to do his cardiology and research fellowships at Stanford University.
From 1995 to 2017, he was a faculty member of the Cardiology Division and Department of Molecular Pharmacology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
Dr. McDonald has over 30 years of basic science research, primarily focused on genetic causes of cardiovascular disease. In the past 10 years, he helped establish a clinic in Cardiac Genetics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York prior to arriving at USF.
Dr. McDonald has now helped establish the USF Health CARDIOGENETICS Clinic, an interdisciplinary program that provides evaluation and counseling to families that have been touched by a wide variety of genetically-determined heart diseases, such as sudden unexplained cardiac death and cardiomyopathies.
CARDIOGENETIC findings are often “actionable” in that specific prognoses, recommendations, medications, and interventions are often determined by genetic mutations discovered.
The clinic is a family-oriented clinic that is a collaborative effort bringing together clinicians and basic scientists from the Departments of Pediatrics, Medicine, Obstetrics, Molecular Genetics, and Physiology.
