Program Overview


The Endocrinology residency program is divided into first year (primarily clinical) and second year (primarily research).

The first year is designed to cover basic clinical endocrinology and includes a variety of general and specialized rotations. The second year focuses on research, but allows flexibility for residents to tailor their clinical training according to their specific needs and career plans.

At least 6-months of independent research is expected during the second year. Residents are also expected to take the initiative to help design and follow-through with their own training schedule.
