Job Category: Staff - Professional

Organizational Unit Overview:

The endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism section offers numerous opportunities in clinical and translational research, particularly through the ECU Metabolic Institute, which was established in 2004 to research the potential causes and cures for diabetes, and includes numerous NIH-funded investigators.

The Endocrinology Fellowship Program encompasses the ACGME competency requirements which include the following: patient care, medical knowledge, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, practice-based learning and improvement, and system-based practice

To better prepare physicians to care for the growing and complex diabetic patient population, the Brody School of Medicine of East Carolina University (BSOM) and ECU Health Medical Center, in conjunction with the ECU Diabetes and Obesity Institute (ECDOI) began a one-year clinical diabetes fellowship for primary care physicians in 2004. Our program is one of only two diabetes fellowships in the U.S, although they are very common in other countries. The ECU Health Medical Center office of Graduate Medical Education sponsors the program and pays the salary and benefits of the fellows. ECU Health Medical Center currently sponsors 40 programs with over 400 physician trainees each year.

Diabetes Fellows intensively study management of all types of diabetes patients and all ages including children and pregnant Women with diabetes as well as lipids, obesity, and nutrition for one year as a PGY-4 resident. The BSOM adult and pediatric endocrinologists and the maternal fetal medicine OB physicians provide state of the art preceptorship in both the BSOM Clinics and the inpatient setting at ECU Health Medical Center. Over the academic year, fellows are required to spend a minimum of eight weeks on our busy inpatient consultation service. On the consult team, the diabetes fellows work alongside the endocrine fellows and residents under the supervision of one of our seven endocrinology faculty.

The fellowship includes additional training in nutrition, obesity, pediatric diabetes, diabetic foot and wound care, inpatient diabetes management, gestational diabetes and high-risk pregnancy, type 1 diabetes, insulin pumps, bariatric and geriatric diabetes. Concentration in these areas will depend on the interest of the fellow and the availability and interest of the expert supervising faculty.

Didactics include the weekly diabetes lecture series, endocrinology grand rounds, journal clubs and many other conferences. Diabetes fellows are expected to make two formal presentations for endocrinology grand rounds and present journal clubs on recent diabetes articles. Fellows are also encouraged to submit interesting cases, or QI/research projects to the BSOM and GME research day programs held in the spring.
