Pediatric Endocrinology Fellowship
The Pediatric Endocrinology Fellowship Program accepted its first extramural fellow in 1999 and has grown to accept two fellows per year. Approximately half of our fellows come from our department's Pediatric Residency Program, and in turn approximately half of our faculty are graduates of our fellowship program.
The Fellowship Program emphasizes both broad and deep clinical training, as well as experience in clinical research, bench research, or both. Almost all of our fellows have published their projects as one or more papers in peer-reviewed literature, and the majority of graduates take academic positions at UT Southwestern or other medical schools.
