项目描述
皇冠体育博彩大学 offers a two-year subspecialty training program for physicians who have completed postgraduate training in an 认证 Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Internal Medicine Residency Program. The fellowship is accredited by the ACGME and is approved for a total of three fellows. In academic years beginning with an even number, the program accepts one new fellow. In academic years beginning with an odd number, the program accepts two new fellows.
Education and Experience
The fellowship is designed to provide advanced training and clinical experience in both ambulatory and inpatient settings. It exposes trainees to all aspects of the subspecialty and prepares them to successfully assume roles as clinicians, educators and/or investigators. Fellows work closely with the program director and other faculty, where open communication and interaction is encouraged.
Fellows are exposed to a wide variety of endocrine and metabolic conditions, 比如糖尿病, 甲状腺, 垂体, 肾上腺, 甲状旁腺, 钙, vitamin D and bone disorders. They are assigned to the inpatient consult service, continuity clinics and specialty clinics. There is minimal call on the endocrine service. Fellows have the opportunity to participate in the Bone Metabolism, Osteoporosis and Diabetes 中心 that offer a vast array of patient and research activities.
Clinical experience is complemented by a strong academic program that consists of core lectures and conferences by expert faculty. 皇冠体育博彩大学 is home to internationally recognized educators and researchers who participate in fellowship training.
Fellows assist with teaching activities and serve as a resource and mentor for medical students and house staff rotating on the endocrine service. They are responsible for organizing and presenting rounds, conferences and Journal 俱乐部. They participate in research projects and work with a faculty mentor to present and/or publish their findings on a national level.
培训地点
The principal fellowship training facility is the CHI Health 皇冠体育博彩大学 医疗中心, with additional clinical experience at the Veterans Affairs 医疗中心 and Children’s Hospital. All training facilities are located in Omaha, 内布拉斯加州, and are a short driving distance from each other.
ABIM亚专业考试
Graduates of the fellowship program are expected to take the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) subspecialty examination in endocrinology and metabolic diseases. Fellows participate in in-service training exams and board review sessions during fellowship. Graduates consistently perform well on the board exam and have ample employment opportunities in their subspecialty.
