Overview

Welcome to the website for the Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism Fellowship Program at East Carolina University Health Medical Center!  Our program is an accredited two-year clinical fellowship for those seeking subspecialty training in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism.  We offer two fellowship positions per year.  Our division also has a separate 1-year Diabetes Fellowship Program that is highly synergistic with our Endocrinology Fellowship Program.

ECU Health is the largest medical practice in Eastern North Carolina, including more than 650 primary and specialty care physicians, and providing care to more than 1.3 million people across 29 counties — many of whom are rural and medically underserved. ECU Health Medical Center, the teaching hospital for the Brody School of Medicine, is a 974-bed tertiary referral center that provides acute, intermediate, and rehabilitation health services.  In an average year, more than 33,000 inpatients and 266,000 outpatients are treated at our hospital’s facilities.  Our wide catchment area and high patient volume provide our fellows with a broad case mix and excellent exposure to all types of endocrine disease.

Eastern North Carolina has a high prevalence of diabetes; our institution is particularly well known for its expertise in bariatric surgery and cardiovascular disease management, and our endocrinology providers are highly involved in the collaborative care of these patients.  Our diabetes care endeavors are well supported by a team of Nutritionists, Diabetes Educators, Diabetes Nurse Specialists, and Specialty Pharmacists.  We also serve many patients with thyroid cancer, and we work closely with Nuclear Medicine, Endocrine Surgery, Pathology, Radiation Oncology, and Medical Oncology to care for these patients.

ECU Health Medical Center is committed to education and strong support of its fellows through a robust GME administrative structure. The Endocrinology division is solidly committed to maintaining a supportive educational environment conducive to acquiring the competencies necessary to become an outstanding consulting physician.
