Professional Education
- Endocrinology Fellowship Program
The Endocrinology Fellowship Program is a fully accredited two-year program leading to eligibility for certification by the American Board of Internal Medicine, Subspecialty of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. The Department seeks individuals who have excelled in all aspects of undergraduate and graduate medical training, including courses in basic science and clinical medicine, standardized examinations, research, medical and non-medical extracurricular activities; in both their undergraduate and graduate activities.
- Residency Opportunities in the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism Residents rotating on Endocrinology/Metabolism have the opportunity to see patients at the national and internationally known Strelitz Diabetes Center. In addition to its clinical expertise, the Diabetes Center is home to some of the most innovative research in endocrinology. On this elective, in addition to their extensive ambulatory experience with top endocrinologists, several of whom are leaders nationally and internationally in their field, residents will gain great knowledge from an inpatient consultative component.
- Endocrine Grand Rounds Calendar
The weekly Endocrine Grand Rounds are held in the Cosmopolitan Education Room at the Strelitz Diabetes Center. The Endocrine Grand Rounds bring together professionals from throughout the medical school and the community to learn from nationally renowned researchers, clinicians and educators. In conjunction with these visiting experts, one-on-one sessions with local faculty and interactive roundtable sessions with researchers encourage the exchange of ideas and forge bonds for future collaborations.
Community Education
Community education outreach is also extended through the Strelitz Diabetes Center’s participation at regional health fairs and diabetes screenings. Health fairs provide the opportunity for educational interactions with our team of health-care providers which may include a physician, nurse educators, dietitians and clinical researchers.
SDC also joins forces with other diabetes organizations such as the American Diabetes Association and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, providing blood sugar and neuropathy screenings at their walk-a-thons and bike-a-thons.
To fulfill our educational mission, we provide educational material about diabetes prevention and treatment including food plans for healthy eating, recipes and exercise recommendations.
