The Endocrine Division is staffed by four clinical faculty. The Division focuses on teaching, research and clinical care in general endocrinology, osteoporosis, diabetes and pituitary disease. The Division is particularly well known for work in diabetes and osteoporosis. Each clinical member of the Division conducts 1-3 outpatient clinics each week at Saint Joseph Hospital and Omaha VAMC. The clinics provide outpatient care to patients with all endocrine disorders including diabetes, thyroid disease, pituitary disorders, errors of metabolism, and osteoporosis. The Division provides inpatient consultative support at Saint Joseph Hospital and Omaha VAMC. Resident Involvement: All residents rotate through the endocrine service at least once during the second or third years of training. They learn office management of patients with endocrine diseases ranging from common disorders such as diabetes and thyroid disease to less common pituitary, adrenal, parathyroid and gonadal diseases. Residents staff each clinic and are supervised by members of the Endocrine Division. Residents see all inpatient and outpatient consultations and are responsible for their care under the supervision of the faculty. |
