Endocrinology Fellowship Program
With a focus on academic knowledge, clinical skills and cutting-edge research, our two-year Endocrinology Fellowship Program provides comprehensive and rigorous training in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism.
Why our program could be right for you
Our fellowship program is designed with the optimal balance of supervision and autonomy. Fellows work closely with dedicated faculty, learning to manage foundational endocrinology cases as well as rarer and more complex ones. A welcoming, patient-centered environment provides fellows with many opportunities to shape their unique learning path, and prepares them for their future career, be it in academic medicine, private practice, medical education or research.
A goal-oriented fellowship
Over the course of their training, fellows acquire advanced skills and expertise in the following areas:
- The pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism
- Patient interviewing and examination relevant to endocrine disorders
- A wide variety of laboratory tests related to endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, and understanding their indications, interpretations, specifications, sensitivities and cost in diagnosis and monitoring therapy
- Thyroid ultrasound and fine needle aspiration biopsy
- Hormone stimulation and suppression tests, including their indications and interpretations
- Multidisciplinary management of complex thyroid, pituitary and neuroendocrine tumors
- Modern diabetes technologies, including the management of insulin pump therapy and the interpretation of continuous glucose monitoring and integration in therapeutic decision-making
- The critical review of literature and use of scientific data to aid in patient management
- Basics of experimental study design and statistical analysis
- Contribution to medical literature through the preparation of case reports, abstracts, posters and manuscripts to present in local, regional and national conferences and forums
Moses Campus
The Moses Campus is home to a 726-bed tertiary care hospital offering state-of-the-art care to a diverse patient population. As the major academic referral center for the Bronx, Westchester and the Lower Hudson Valley, Moses offers fellows unparalleled exposure to the most unusual cases in the field of endocrinology.
Jack D. Weiler Hospital, Einstein Campus
Located on the campus of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, the Jack D. Weiler Hospital is a 403-bed tertiary care facility that serves 75,000 patients per year. Working as part of the inpatient consult team, fellows participate in the management of various endocrine conditions. The Jack D. Weiler Hospital is home to general medicine floors, surgery, oncology, telemetry, critical care and other general inpatient services, as well as obstetric care and labor and delivery services, which gives fellows the opportunity to care for various pregnancy-related endocrine disorders.
A world-renowned faculty
Hear from our fellows
As one of the top 10 largest medical and surgical training programs in the country, Montefiore-Einstein provides postgraduate clinical training to more than 1,400 residents across 106 accredited residency and fellowship programs. Here, our postgraduate trainees share their own first-hand experiences.
Offering rich opportunities for research
Researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine secured $178 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2019, with $14.7 million in funding granted to researchers in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. The Division carries out ongoing clinical, basic science, translational and behavioral research in a range of endocrine science areas, including diabetes and aging research, along with emerging opportunities in thyroid, metabolic bone disease and neuroendocrine research.
Our NIH-funded research centers include the Einstein Sinai Diabetes Research Center, home to more than 120 faculty laboratories conducting basic, translational and clinical research in diabetes, obesity and metabolism; the New York Regional Center for Diabetes Translation Research, specializing in bio-psychosocial and behavioral research, with a focus on the social determinants of health; the Institute for Aging Research and Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging, which conducts basic, translational and clinical research; and the Global Diabetes Institute, which establishes strategic global partnerships for research on lean diabetes and improving diabetes education.
Endocrinology Fellows become familiar with research in their first year under the stewardship of Sofiya Milman, MD, Associate Program Director for Research. Depending on their experience and future career interests, fellows can choose to initiate their own research project or join an ongoing project, working with helpful and experienced mentors. Fellows also participate in didactic seminars on research methodology, scientific writing and quality improvement studies. During their training, fellows gain valuable research experience, and most contribute to their field by presenting their findings at regional or national conferences or in a manuscript.
