The Clinical Fellowship in Endocrinology and Metabolism is a two-year program. The clinical training includes extensive experience, supervised by clinical faculty members, in the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of endocrine and metabolic problems. During the clinical year extensive exposure in the fields of neuroendocrinology and reproductive endocrinology is obtained through our collaboration with the Departments of Neurosurgery and Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences. Hospitalized Patients Endocrinology trainees serve as consultants for patients with diabetes and endocrine and metabolic disorders and supervise patient care through daily contact with ward physicians and medical residents. Clinics Fellows supervise the management of patients with diabetes and endocrine and thyroid diseases in weekly clinics.
Trainees also participate in infertility and lipid clinics.
Over 150 patients are treated each week in the ambulatory areas. Conferences Endocrine Grand Rounds are held weekly. Speakers include the Mount Sinai faculty, Endocrine Fellows, and invited guests. Clinical seminars and journal clubs, on alternating weeks, are attended by members of the Endocrinology clinical and scientific staff, fellows, residents, and students on elective in endocrinology and diabetes. A joint meeting with the Department of Neurosurgery is held on a monthly basis to discuss the diagnosis and management of complicated neuro-endocrine disorders.
