Overview

The Clinical Scholars will continue with inpatient coverage during their 2nd year (approximately 4 months), in addition to their outpatient clinics. There are required subspecialty clinics, which include: 

  • UW Pituitary Clinic
  • UW Thyroid Nodule and FNA Clinic

  • Adolescent and Young Adult Diabetes Clinic

In addition, 2nd year fellows have the opportunity to participate in special tracks, including the Educator Track and our Global Health Track. Fellows can also create their own clinical experiences, to spend more time on areas where they feel they need more exposure, or areas where they would like to focus their training. 


Both Clinical and Research Scholars continue to have ample time for self directed learning, scholarly research projects and preparation for the Endocrine Boards.

Global health track

For trainees with a strong interest in global health or a passion for working with patients from under-resourced areas, we offer a one month clinical teaching rotation in Naivasha, Kenya. Fellows have the opportunity to spend one month working at the Naivasha Sub-County Hospital, providing didactics and teaching rounds to trainees from Nairobi and other areas. 

You will work closely with the UW Global Health Chief Resident, as well as other UW learners who rotate through the hospital. There are also opportunities for research as part of this track.
