Customizing Your Endocrinology Education
Yale Endocrinology and Yale School of Medicine offer many ways to customize your education beyond the tracks offered within the section.
Further Research Training Opportunities
Yale endocrine fellows enter our program with a variety of past research experiences. Some have extensive backgrounds and already have earned a PhD prior to medical school or as part of a joint MD/PhD program. However, many have less experience and decide to pursue an investigative career during clinical training. To help all trainees meet their career goals, Yale offers additional formal training programs to develop young investigators.
