Fellow Life

Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes Fellows at Diabetes Camp

Our division actively publishes in both the basic science and clinical research realms. All fellows in our program are required to complete a total of research, usually in the realm of basic or clinical research. Fellows are encouraged to explore research within the division and collaborative research projects with other pediatric divisions. There are numerous opportunities for research in any field of interest across all subspecialties including within our very own division. Basic research within our division includes the work of Dr. Andrew Norris.

Fellows also have the opportunity to find research mentors outside the division. For example, previous fellows had mentors in Internal Medicine Endocrinology.

There are many opportunities to initiate or join a clinical research project. Some of our faculty members are involved in ongoing clinical trials. 

You can find a list of our publications here.

Fellows are encouraged to attend and present at our institution's annual Pediatric Research Day
