Oncologic Endocrinology Fellowship

The Oncologic Endocrinology fellowship is a one-year program that accepts one fellow per year.  Our program is the first in the nation to provide advanced training for the evaluation and treatment of endocrine neoplasia. Fellows will acquire the skills and knowledge base for evaluating and treating patients with complex endocrine tumors.

Faculty in Endocrine Neoplasia and Hormonal Disorders evaluate, manage and investigate a wide spectrum of tumors of the thyroid, adrenals, parathyroid, pituitary, pancreas and hereditary endocrine syndromes in both adults and children. The Endocrine Center has well-established collaborative relationships with head and neck surgery, surgical endocrinology, medical oncology, genetics, radiology and pathology. This unique concentration of expertise provides a training experience to develop future leaders in the field of endocrine neoplasia. Furthermore, trainees receive exceptional training in the management of hormonal disorders that are caused by tumors and cancer treatment and are unique to cancer patients.

The curriculum includes outpatient and inpatient management of patients with complicated endocrine neoplasia and hormonal disorders, including patients enrolled into Phase I, Phase II and Phase III clinical trials. Rotations with non-endocrine specialties such as surgery, pathology and radiology are offered.

Research activity is expected with opportunities to present at local, national or international meetings. Academic opportunities include routine conferences and the education of medical students, residents or fellows.
