The patients are often complex with multiple co-morbidities leading to diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Endocrinology fellows rotate here 9 months of the year in both the inpatient and outpatient setting: 2-3 months on the General Endocrine Consult Service, 2-3 months on the Diabetes Service, and 5 months on outpatient rotation. Fellows attend specialty clinics in post-transplant diabetes, cystic fibrosis-related diabetes, pituitary, thyroid cancer/endocrine neoplasia, thyroid eye disease, pediatric endocrinology, endocrine genetics, and metabolic bone disease, among others.
