Program overview
We offer two distinct fellowship tracks, a two-year clinical scholar track for physicians interested in academic or community-based clinical practice, and a three-year research track for physicians interested in protected research time, with aspirations for an academic career in teaching or research or a career in industry. The research track also offers trainees the opportunity to pursue a Masters of Public Health, in lieu of a traditional research pathway.
Both tracks provide an opportunity for personalization of the training experience to fit trainees’ interests, as well as ample time to pursue scholarly projects. The research track is only open to US citizens or Permanent Residents due to funding restrictions.
Our fellows divide their time among three hospitals: the University of Washington Medical Center (academic medical center), Harborview Medical Center (county hospital), and the VA Puget Sound Health Care System.
These centers provide care for patients from throughout the Pacific Northwest, providing our fellows a unique educational experience, with the opportunity to care for a diverse population, including patients from the agricultural areas of eastern Washington to the rural villages of Alaska to our urban core in Seattle.
Our trainees gain experience with all aspects of endocrinology and have moved on to careers in both academic medicine and community practice.
In addition to unparalleled clinical experiences, our fellows have the distinct advantage of working with our outstanding faculty, who are not only passionate about the patients they care for but view teaching as one of the central pillars of their work here and enjoy working with our fellows as both clinical and research mentors.
Our graduates consistently note our faculty as being one of the highlights of our training program.
