Endocrine Fellowship Director Letter

From the Program Director

• We have 3 unique training sites that offer a variety of patient populations including Veterans, tertiary and quaternary referrals, heart/liver/lung/kidney transplants, incarcerated, and underserved.
• Our diverse patient population and proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border provide unique pathology with rare presentations and advanced diseases that make our training experience unparalleled.
• Our twice-weekly case conferences include a "tumor board" style review of difficult diabetes and endocrine cases. Attendance from endocrine surgeons, head and neck surgery, neurosurgeons, reproductive endocrinologists, and radiologists provides unique education for fellows, close collaboration, and in-depth case review.
• Our faculty consists of international leaders in the field of endocrinology who work closely with fellows in the clinical and research setting, as well as providing career mentorship during fellowship and beyond.
• We regularly respond to fellow feedback in an attempt to constantly improve our training experience for the fellows.
• Specialized Training Tracks are available to support career goals. The Academic Track is available for those interested in a career in research or as a clinician educator, while the Traditional Track prioritizes clinical training.
• We offer various pathways to enhance training in specific areas including Diabetes Technology Pathway, Fellow as Clinician Educator Training (FACET) Pathway, and Bone Pathway.

We are thrilled to have you consider our program for fellowship training in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
