The Division of Endocrinology is pleased to offer a two-week rotation for students.  Students have an opportunity to see a wide variety of endocrine disorders and participate in taking histories and physicals.

This is a flexible elective that can leave students free to read some afternoons or to participate in the consult service (3-5 new consults per day) for additional experience. At the Case Conference, we discuss the diagnosis and management of interesting cases. 

The Endocrine Division is proud of its teaching reputation and you won't be disappointed in what you learn. It's fun too!
