UCSD Endocrinology - Clinical Environment

	UCSD Endocrinology Clinical Environment



Three distinct hospital and clinic environments provide our fellows with a broad range of experiences. Fellows develop outpatient practices at all three UCSD-affiliated hospitals, which include the multidisciplinary diabetes clinic at the VA Medical Center and the general endocrine clinics at the VA and UCSD. A wide variety of endocrine problems are seen in these clinics, covering the spectrum of diabetes, adrenal, pituitary, and reproductive endocrinology. They leave well-prepared to handle virtually any style of patient care.


	UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest This 386 bed hospital and busy clinical practice is located near downtown San Diego and serves a socio-economically diverse patient population, including a significant number of patients who are otherwise medically under-served

	VA Medical Center There is nothing quite like working in a VA hospital or clinic. The vets comprise a diverse population unified by pretty good access to health care thanks to the VA system. This includes a 256 bed hospital and outpatient clinics adjacent to the UCSD School of Medicine and the undergraduate campus in La Jolla


	Thornton Hospital This 120 bed hospital and clinical practice tends to serve the more wealthy communities of La Jolla and Del Mar. Patients generally have excellent medical access and are well-educated. The Thornton Hospital complex includes the Moores Cancer Center, the Suplizio Cardiovascular Center, and the Shiley Eye Center.
