Welcome! We are Chicago’s newest pediatric endocrinology fellowship program that started in the fall of 2014. We are a comprehensive three-year training program, fully accredited by the ACGME. Our combined program is set in two large academic hospitals in Chicago: Rush University Children’s Hospital and the Children’s Hospital of the University of Illinois at Chicago
Rush University Children’s Hospital delivers comprehensive, high quality, innovative family-centered excellence in child health services while promoting the most impactful research and the highest innovation in education.
The University of Illinois at Chicago Hospital and Health Sciences System is at the epicenter of many of the changes our healthcare system is undergoing, creating exciting and unique training opportunities.
Our joint mission is to provide the knowledge, skills and attributes that will allow fellows to become excellent and competent pediatric endocrinologists.
The first year of training focuses on mastering basic concepts in eliciting relevant clinical history, performing physical examinations and developing management plans. The second and third years focus on conducting clinical or basic science research, teaching residents and medical students, in addition to achieving further experience and confidence to practice independently. Our program also aims to prepare fellows for successful board certification.
