The Endocrinology Fellowship Program incorporates a series of educational conferences scheduled every Tuesday throughout the two-year training duration. These conferences aim to enhance the knowledge and skills of endocrinology fellows in various aspects of the field.
1. Endocrinology Core Curriculum Lecture Series:
The objective of this lecture series is to provide a comprehensive review of endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism. This curriculum extends over the span of two years. Lectures, delivered by our endocrinology faculty and fellows, cover both basic and clinical aspects of endocrinology in alignment with ACGME recommendations. Topics also include a detailed discussion of diabetes technology, providing fellows with hands-on experience.
2. Endocrinology Journal Club:
Held monthly, the Journal Club is designed to train endocrine fellows in critically evaluating study design, methodology, statistics, and results of peer-reviewed studies in medical literature.
3. Endocrinology Clinical Case Conference:
This monthly fellow-presented conference features selected clinical cases encountered by the Section of Endocrinology, encompassing both hospitalized and outpatient scenarios. The conference's goal is to develop fellows' proficiency in delivering effective case presentations and utilizing medical literature for an evidence-based approach to the evaluation and management of endocrine disorders.
4. Fellow Board Review:
Conducted once a month, this session provides fellows with an opportunity to collaboratively address board questions, with or without faculty presence.
5. Difficult Case Discussion:
This informal platform facilitates discussions between faculty and fellows on challenging cases. It serves as an opportunity to share experiences and learn different approaches from each other.
6. Research Conference:
Bi-annually, this conference focuses on the presentation and discussion of current and proposed research projects within the Endocrine section. Fellows present their hypotheses, methods, experimental designs, analyses, interpretations, and the basis for their conclusions.
