The Division faculty conduct consult rounds that focus on
disease etiology and management. In addition, both endocrine
and diabetes attendings give didactic presentations on the
"theme of the month" (e.g., Endocrine--thyroid,
adrenal, male reproductive; Diabetes--insulin resistance,
oral agents, dyslipidemias). This program ensures that fellows
receive formal instruction in a full curriculum as designated.
The Endocrine Clinical Conference is held on Wednesday at
lunch. This conference is jointly attended by faculty and
fellows of the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism
at HUP and the Endocrinology Division at the Children's Hospital
of Philadelphia. Once a month, this is a clinical-pathological
conference, in which fellows present patients who had either
endocrine biopsies or surgery and the pathology is reviewed.
Once a month this conference is devoted to pediatric endocrinology
presented by our colleagues at CHOP. On the remaining 2-3
Wednesdays per month, the 1st year endocrine fellows present
challenging or instructive cases with review of the pertinent
literature.
Journal club is held once a month, where both an attending
and fellow review the recent literature and present a paper
of interest to the group. In this forum, the fellow learns
to read and evaluate critically the clinical endocrinology
literature.
The Thursday diabetes clinic is followed by a bi-monthly Diabetes
Conference at noon. This provides a forum for case presentation
and discussion of interesting, challenging, and instructive
cases alternating with more formal didactic sessions presenting
basic concepts in clinical and molecular diabetology and metabolism.
On Tuesday afternoon, fellows attend the Combined Division
of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism and University
of Pennsylvania Diabetes Center Seminar Series. Here, Penn
faculty and outstanding invited faculty from throughout the
country present innovative basic scientific work involving
molecular diabetology and endocrinology. Fellows are also
required to attend Medical Grand Rounds on Tuesday mornings,
which frequently addresses a topic relevant to endocrinology
and diabetes.
