After graduating from med school, you will need to complete a 3-year medical residency in internal medicine to become an endocrinologist. During your residency, you'll be supervised by a licensed physician and can work in a hospital, clinic, or other medical facility. You will diagnose and treat real patients as well as make patient assessments and conduct research. A fellowship program takes 2-3 years and will take place at a medical facility such as a clinic or hospital. It is similar to a residency, except that you will specialize in endocrinology. A board-certified endocrinologist will supervise you as you diagnose, monitor, treat, and support patients that have problems with their endocrine systems. Patients with endocrine issues may have diabetes, hormonal imbalances, or fertility or reproductive problems. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, or AACE, helps endocrinologists access the latest research in the field and provide the best care to their patients. Joining this organization gives you access to their medical journals and can also put you in touch with other endocrinologists. Networking with your new contacts can help you find desirable positions in private practices, clinics, or hospitals. To learn more, visit the AACE website at https://www.aace.com/. The cost to become an AACE member is $295 per year.

Summary: Finish a residency program. Complete a fellowship. Join the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.
