The
goal of the fellowship program in Endocrinology, Diabetes
and Metabolism at the University of Pennsylvania is to train
outstanding endocrinologists for academic careers. This is
accomplished by providing:
*Broad and intensive clinical exposure and teaching
*Training in and opportunities for teaching and academic presentations
*Post-doctoral level training in basic and/or clinical research
For most fellows, the first year is devoted predominately
to clinical training. Fellows spend 12 months doing in-patient
consultations as well as participating in a mixture of outpatient
clinics. During this first year, fellows still have sufficient
time to plan and initiate a research project on a part-time
basis. After completion of the first year, fellows still participate
in divisional conferences and clinics, but the primary emphasis
becomes the fellow's individual research project, supervised
by a faculty mentor. The minimum length of fellowship training
is two years, but most fellows preparing for research careers
in academic medicine complete a total of three (or more) years.
These additional research years can generally be accommodated
within the program, and many fellows have been successful
in obtaining grant support for their own projects.
