Endocrine Consult

On the inpatient Endocrine Consult Service, fellows diagnose and manage common and rare endocrine diseases and supervise medical students and medical residents on the consult service. The diverse endocrine pathology encountered comes from the surrounding neighborhoods, tertiary care referrals, and varied interests of the faculty.

 

Diabetes Consult

On the inpatient Diabetes Consult Service, fellows assist teams with the management of inpatient diabetes including complicated steroid-induced diabetes and tube-feed associated hyperglycemia. Of note, fellows assist the medical teams, and a separate Diabetes Surgical Consult Service comprised of a physician’s assistant and attending sees consults called by surgical teams from Monday to Friday.
