The Pediatric Endocrinology Fellowship at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai provides fellows with the training they need to become leaders in the field of academic pediatric endocrinology.
Clinical training takes place on the main campus of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Inpatient training is held at the Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital where patients are admitted to a hospitalist team and Pediatric Endocrinology serves as a consultative service. We also have our own dedicated office space in the Annenberg building for outpatient visits. Fellows and faculty routinely see patients with growth disorders, diabetes mellitus, pancreatic disorders, thyroid disorders, pubertal disorders, disorders of the reproductive system, adrenal disorders, bone disease and calcium metabolism, disorders of lipid metabolism, and endocrine tumor syndromes.
During all three years, fellows care for their own panel of patients in weekly faculty-supervised continuity clinics. The first-year clinical experience is divided into six months of inpatient consultation service and six months of outpatient experience, including rotations in specialized clinics within Pediatric Endocrinology and in collaboration with Medical Genetics and Adult Endocrinology. During the second and third years, fellows have 12 weeks of inpatient consultative service and the outpatient experience includes the fellows' continuity clinic and optional outpatient electives.
