UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine train endocrinology fellows from around the world.
With NIH funding and a large endocrine patient base, the Pitt School of Medicine is a top choice for fellows.
We prepare graduates who plan to:
- Do clinical practice in endocrinology (including surgery).
- Become doctor-educators.
- Do endocrinology research.
Fellows practice at UPMC hospitals and outpatient clinics in southwest Pa.
