Overview
The fellowship training program in Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes is a 2-year program aimed at providing intensive experience such that upon graduation, the fellows will have acquired the competency of a specialist in said field.
Fellows will be able to clinically manage common endocrine conditions, particularly diabetes and thyroid diseases. In addition they will also be able to manage conditions related to hypothalamic, pituitary, adrenal and gonadal problems.
During their concomitant research training, the fellows will be able to think critically, analyze data from recently published journals, formulate independent hypotheses, set out plans of investigation and carry them out. At the end of the training program, we intent to have well trained physicians who can do good clinical research incorporating themes that are both clinical and analytical at cellular and molecular levels.
