Fellows attend clinics and consulting service in each year of the program. The consulting team includes faculty, endocrine fellows, medicine residents, and senior medical students. For fellows wishing to concentrate on research or clinical work, clinical duties can be reduced or increased within the guidelines set for certification in Endocrinology and Metabolism.

Activities

In addition to research and teaching, members of the Division participate in inpatient, outpatient and consulting services.

The Division organizes:

  • Weekly research conferences (fellows participate in selection of topics and speakers)
