Endocrinology Fellowship Program: Education
The Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School fellowship in Endocrinology Diabetes and Metabolism recruits three new fellows each year into a unified program with the Joslin Diabetes Center. The clinical year of the program is a joint clinical training program with the Brigham and Women's Hospital, known as the Longwood Area Training program in Endocrinology and Diabetes.
The clinical year of this fellowship involves inpatient rotations at the BIDMC and Brigham and Women's, and diverse second and third years of the program involve continuity clinics, a broad array of lectures and conferences, and a major research experience in one of the Division laboratories or a related lab in the area. The training program results in board eligibility in Endocrinology and many graduates remain in the academic sphere. The program is supported by an NIH Training Grant. In addition to the clinical fellowship, many postdoctoral research fellows work within the Division research laboratories.
