Endocrinology Fellowship Information

The Endocrinology Fellowship is a 2 year program in the department of medicine. The program is directed by Romesh Khardori, M.D., Chief, Division of Endocrinology.

The goals of the Endocrinology fellowship program are:

  • Provide a comprehensive knowledge base to prepare the fellow to care for patients
    suffering from endocrine or metabolic disease. This includes treating patients for acute
    and chronic distress resulting from their disease.
  • Provide a wide variety of patients suffering from diverse endocrine problems to give
    the fellow experience in diagnosing and treating patients suffering from disease in all
    areas of endocrinology.
  • Provide a diverse experience through rotations in areas related to endocrinology so
    that the fellow has training in all of the diagnostic procedures and methods used in
    endocrinology.
  • Prepare the fellow to continue his/her education throughout his/her life by giving him/her
    training in critically reading the medical literature, understanding medical informatics,
    medical research methods, medical statistics, medical decision-making, outcomes
    assessment, health promotion, practice management, medicolegal issues and medical
    humanities.
  • Introduce fellows to principles of clinical/bench research, and prepare them to analyze
    literature/data, write investigative protocols and collect data in a scientific, organized
    manner.
