Endocrinology Fellowship

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

Endocrinology fellowship program goals:

  • 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.

As of November 2005, we are participating with ERAS for applications for our program.
