Endocrinology Fellowship Program

This is a two year training program that offers training in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism. At the end of the training period, fellows will be board eligible in both subspecialties. There are 1-2 fellows in each year group of the fellowship (2-4 total). Five Key Clinical Faculty (three Air Force and two Army) participate in the education and training of the fellows. Fellows learn how to perform thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA), thyroid ultrasound, interpret bone mineral density testing (DXA), and interpret specialized endocrine metabolic testing. The majority of the education is outpatient, but fellows cover in-patient consults at both Brook Army Medial Center (BAMC) and Wilford Hall Medical Center (WHMC). As a tertiary care referral service, this program offers a broad endocrinology experience. Fellows attend lectures at WHMC and educational programs at the University Texas Health Science Center - San Antonio.

Education

The didactic education consists of formal lectures given by the KCF, invited guest lecturers, and other fellows. Conference is held weekly at WHMC on Tuesdays and at UTHSC-SA on Thursday (Endocrine Grand Rounds). There are weekly conferences with the nuclear medicine department, monthly pathology conferences, monthly research conferences, and quarterly pituitary conferences. Fellows also attend the Endocrine University during their second year where they obtain all their certifications. Lastly, fellows attend a board review course during their first year of training and an international society meeting during their second year. They are encouraged to present their research at those conferences.
