Research

Research can be clinical, translational, or basic science based in the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology, at another Emory University Department or at an outside institution.

Clinical Responsibilities 

Clinical responsibilities include four to six weeks of inpatient service, outpatient continuity clinics (endocrinology and diabetes) at Emory Children’s Center, and satellite clinics in various places within driving distance from Atlanta (see below).

Upper-level fellows, will participate in Pediatric Endocrinology satellite clinics outside of the city of Atlanta once a month. This experience strengthens the knowledge of routine endocrinological care, outside of a tertiary care center, and is valued as a good preparation for private practice by all fellows.

In addition, during the second and third years, fellows will be immersed in subspecialty clinics. These clinics, provide a unique patient population with intriguing and fascinating pathology, and teach our fellows specialized management in their respective fields.
