Endocrinology Fellowship Program

Endocrinology Fellowship Program

With a focus on academic knowledge, clinical skills and cutting-edge research, our two-year Endocrinology Fellowship Program provides comprehensive and rigorous training in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism.

A goal-oriented fellowship

Over the course of their training, fellows acquire advanced skills and expertise in the following areas: 

• The pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism
• Patient interviewing and examination relevant to endocrine disorders
• A wide variety of laboratory tests related to endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, and understanding their indications, interpretations, specifications, sensitivities and cost in diagnosis and monitoring therapy
• Thyroid ultrasound and fine needle aspiration biopsy
• Hormone stimulation and suppression tests, including their indications and interpretations
• Multidisciplinary management of complex thyroid, pituitary and neuroendocrine tumors
• Modern diabetes technologies, including the management of insulin pump therapy and the interpretation of continuous glucose monitoring and integration in therapeutic decision-making
• The critical review of literature and use of scientific data to aid in patient management
• Basics of experimental study design and statistical analysis
• Contribution to medical literature through the preparation of case reports, abstracts, posters and manuscripts to present in local, regional and national conferences and forums
• Multidisciplinary management of endocrine disease in pregnancy
• Obesity training and leadership within the Medical Weight Management Center
• Bone disease and calcium imbalance

First-year curriculum

The first year of fellowship is primarily dedicated to clinical training in inpatient and outpatient settings. During this clinical training, our fellows are exposed to a wide range of endocrine conditions, from basic pathology to rare and complex cases such as metastatic pheochromocytoma and insulinoma. Under close faculty supervision, fellows learn to manage these conditions with increasing independence and confidence. In this first year of training, our fellows learn to perform a number of endocrine procedures, including thyroid ultrasound and fine needle aspiration, the management of insulin pump therapy, interpretation of continuous glucose monitoring and the reading of DXA scans.

Second-year curriculum

The second year of training is mainly dedicated to an in-depth basic, clinical or translational research experience. In their time away from research, fellows continue to attend a weekly endocrine continuity clinic and a monthly diabetes continuity clinic. They also participate in Type 1 Diabetes Pediatrics to Adult Transition Clinic and spend a three-month block attending a once-weekly Maternal-Fetal Medicine Clinic, where they gain experience in co-managing pregnant patients with various endocrine conditions and high-risk obstetrics. Select fellows interested in pursuing research careers have the option to stay on for a third year of training.
