Fellows are expected to routinely attend the weekly clinical endocrinology conference, firm conference, endocrinology and molecular medicine grand rounds, endocrinology journal club, and medical grand rounds. The clinical endocrinology conference provides a forum for case presentations followed by a lively discussion and review of pertinent literature. Fellows present cases in rotation along with full-time and contributed service faculty members. Endocrinology fellows and faculty members contribute their special expertise. Endocrinology and molecular medicine grand rounds feature local and nationally known experts.
Topics reflect a blend of cutting-edge advances and scholarly reviews.
The endocrinology journal club critically reviews recent papers of widespread interest to division members. The journal club has broad participation from throughout the University, and fellows are expected to present papers. Medical grand rounds has a standard format, and endocrinology topics are addressed regularly. The first year is supported by an institutional fellowship endowment. Subsequent years are supported by a variety of grant mechanisms, including an NIH training grant.
