Research Opportunities
Research Excellence:
Research plays a pivotal role in advancing the field of pediatric Endocrinology, propelling the discipline forward and enhancing the treatment and care of neonates, children, and adults. This investigative work is not only fundamental to the progression of the field but also serves as a cornerstone for the professional growth of our Endocrinology fellows.
Scholarly Contributions:
To culminate their training, our fellows are tasked with the creation and authorship of a scholarly work. This requirement is a testament to their dedication and intellectual engagement and can involve a variety of investigative areas, encompassing basic science, clinical practice, translational research, health services, policy analysis, quality enhancement, or educational theory.
The division of Pediatric Endocrinology maintains an active program of clinical and basic research. The fellow is expected to learn the techniques of research by actively participating in research projects under supervision of the pediatric endocrine faculty during the three years of fellowship. Initially, the fellow is assigned and becomes involved in specific ongoing research efforts of faculty members in the division. Whenever possible the fellow will participate in preparation of grant requests and hopefully write and compete for grant funds geared to fellowship projects. The division director is actively involved in research and takes an active interest and role in research activities and progress of fellows. Training is augmented by research and didactic seminars conducted in the division and at the departmental and university level. When appropriate the fellow participates in extramural conferences and workshops. The fellow has access to sophisticated computerized statistical packages, reference manager, and database managers supported on the divisional computers.
Upon matching, we will discuss with the individual fellow their personal interests and goals. The fellow will be matched with a project mentor(s) and introduced to available
