Welcome to the Columbia Irving Medical Center
Endocrinology, Diabetes, & Metabolism Fellowship! 

Welcome!  Our ABIM-accredited fellowship offers two positions each year. It is designed to train exceptional clinical endocrinologists and outstanding research physicians who will become leaders in the field. Our graduates have thriving careers in academic medicine and clinical practice.

We have two training tracks: our traditional 3-year research track and a new 2-year clinical track.  In both tracks, the majority of inpatient clinical time will be completed in the first year of fellowship. This time is largely spent on the general endocrine consult service in which fellows have significant exposure to a range of endocrine diseases from more common workups such as evaluation of thyroid abnormalities or hypoglycemia to management of rarer conditions including acromegaly, pheochromocytoma, and Cushings disease.

Our unique NIH-funded research track allows fellows to engage in research from inception to publication, under the guidance of faculty mentors. Fellows are able to remain engaged in clinical work throughout, including via their longitudinal continuity clinic in which they establish long-term relationships with patients.  Fellows will also have an opportunity to obtain a Master of Science in Biostatistics from the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.

In our clinical track, fellows will primarily engage in outpatient clinical work during their second year of fellowship including in their own general endocrine, thyroid, and diabetes clinics.  They will also be able to engage in a research project and participate in additional clinics with our world-renowned faculty in the Thyroid Center, Parathyroid Center, Neuroendocrine Division, Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center Lipid Unit and our Metabolic Bone Diseases Program.
