Training encompasses outpatient clinics, inpatient consultative services, endocrine procedural experiences (such as fine-needle aspiration), multidisciplinary care settings, and diabetes education programs. Fellows also participate in academic conferences, evidence-based didactics, quality improvement projects, and opportunities for scholarly activity.
