Yale Fellowship in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism
The Yale Fellowship in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism is a rigorous and highly selective program designed to train future leaders in the field. The Yale Endocrinology Fellowship is one of the country's oldest training programs in endocrinology, with continuous funding from the National Institutes of Health for more than half a century.
- Why complete an endocrinology fellowship?
An endocrinology fellowship provides additional training for doctors who want to become specialists in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism.
The Yale Section of Endocrinology and Metabolism is large enough to offer trainees a breadth of experience in clinical and scholarly spheres yet small enough to provide meaningful relationships with each of our distinguished faculty members. Our tradition of hands-on mentoring has fostered the careers of dozens of clinical investigators and clinician-educators over the past decade. Our fellowship provides the ideal balance of clinical training at one of the country’s leading academic medical centers with research at one of the world’s most renowned research universities.
- Why train in endocrinology at Yale?
The dedication of our faculty to your success distinguishes the Yale program from other top-tier endocrine fellowships. We are deeply committed to nurturing the next generation of national and international endocrine leaders as clinician-educators and clinician-scientists.
Our program provides fellows with salary support while they pursue clinical or research careers. Additionally, our program is unique in its close integration with pediatric endocrinology and endocrine surgery, both very strong sections at Yale School of Medicine, sharing case conferences and cross-over in the research arena.
- What training will I receive as part of the Yale Fellowship in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism?
During your first clinical year, you will rotate between our busy inpatient consult service and numerous subspecialty outpatient endocrine clinics.
Our outpatient clinics include:
- Endocrine Neoplasia Program (thyroid, adrenal, pituitary)
- Yale Diabetes Center
- Yale Bone Center
Elective rotations are also available in pediatric endocrinology, reproductive endocrinology, and endocrine surgery, among other areas. You will also learn at the continuity clinic at the VA Connecticut Healthcare System in West Haven, just minutes from our main medical campus.
Through these experiences, you will evaluate and manage various clinical endocrine and metabolic conditions seen in practice.
During the first two years of your fellowship, you will attend rich, interactive clinical conferences. These didactic sessions and workshops buttress the clinical training in a relaxed atmosphere, attended by adult and pediatric endocrinology fellows.
You will care for patients with a wide range of conditions, including:
- Type 1 and 2 diabetes
- Obesity
- Osteoporosis
- Hypothyroidism
- Cushing’s disease
- Reproductive disorders
- Thyroid cancer
- How long is an endocrinology fellowship?
Yale’s fellowship in endocrinology has two training tracks. In both tracks, you will become board-eligible after two years of training.
- Three-year clinical/research endocrinology fellowship
- Two-year clinical endocrinology fellowship
How Do I Apply?
Our program participates in the ERAS Electronic Application and National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) for Endocrinology Fellowship match. Applications to the program are accepted until July 31. All interviews are by invitation only and will occur during selected dates in September and October.
