Training takes place at the Rutgers Health faculty practice (outpatient) and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (inpatient). The training program provides opportunities to observe and manage a diverse population of inpatients, outpatients and consults along the spectrum of endocrine disease. Fellows are supervised and closely mentored by dedicated faculty.
Fellows rotate on inpatient consultation service, ambulatory clinic, and subspecialty/research blocks.
In the Rutgers Health faculty practice the fellows rotate through general endocrine and subspecialty clinics including osteoporosis, pediatrics, transgender and thyroid procedure clinics. Each fellow maintains a continuity clinic which provides them with the opportunity to learn the course of disease and develop long-term patient relationships. Our clinic has professional CGM, a DXA machine, an ultrasound machine, and a CDE/pump nurse always accessible to the fellows.
Our trainees are an integral part of the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital multidisciplinary teams that care for patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery, heart transplants, kidney and pancreas transplants, stem cell transplants, bariatric surgery and pituitary surgeries.
As part of the Cancer Institute of New Jersey we often collaborate on patients with neuroendocrine tumors and immune related endocrinopathies.
We have the capabilities to treat our patients with radioactive iodine for hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer, gamma knife radiosurgery, gender affirmation surgery and perform petrosal sinus sampling, adrenal vein sampling and parathyroid venous sampling.
