Educational Components of Our Fellowship Program

For the first academic month, the Endocrine faculty cover a range of “urgent” Endocrine topics specifically directed toward the new fellows. Thereafter, the first and third weeks of every month is a case conference, chosen by the fellow and inspired by an interesting patient seen in the clinic or on the consultation service. The case and a brief review of the literature are presented to faculty, fellows, PA’s and rotating residents and students. The second week of every month is a journal club where fellows present a paper from the recent literature, mentored by a faculty member. Instruction in critically reviewing the literature and presenting is included. The fourth week of every month is a research meeting, presented by faculty and directed toward a practical introduction to the research being done in our division.

Endocrine faculty, visiting faculty from the University of Florida and other universities present clinical or research oriented talks to the division.

Fellows and the program director meet for an hour a week to review ESAP questions, synchronized with suggested reading.

All research faculty and all fellows participate in an informal weekly review of on-going research in the division.
