Our Team
Welcome to the Diabetes Fellowship!
Cecilia C. Low Wang, MD - Program Director
Thank you for your interest in the CU Diabetes Fellowship training program! We offer a carefully-designed curriculum with comprehensive training in all types of diabetes, complications, and comorbidities, in diverse clinical settings with outstanding faculty dedicated to teaching and mentorship. Our main clinical sites include the University of Colorado Hospital and Clinics, Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes, Rocky Mountain VA Medical Center, and Denver Health. The University of Colorado is consistently ranked among the top hospitals for Diabetes and Endocrinology in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Our fellows receive in-depth clinical training in the multiple facets of diabetes care during their fellowship year, and we have some flexibility to tailor the fellowship experience to specific clinical interests of each fellow.
Please feel free to contact me, Dr. Sarit Polsky, or Caroline Whitaker for more information about our fellowship program!
A little bit about me – I did my endocrinology fellowship training at the University of Colorado and joined the faculty at the Denver VA Medical Center for the first part of my career, then moved my clinical and academic work back to the University of Colorado Hospital in 2012. I see patients in the Endocrine Clinic at UCH, and I serve as Director of the Glucose Management Team at the University of Colorado Hospital. I teach medical students, house staff and fellows, lead clinical trials and QI projects, and I help design, oversee safety, and work on endpoint adjudication for clinical trials at CPC Clinical Research. I was born in Austin, Texas, and moved around the US and the world a lot as a kid, including Malaysia, and Taiwan where I graduated from high school. I’ve also lived in California (Pomona College), New York (medical school at the University of Rochester), and Utah (residency and chief residency at the University of Utah). I have two dogs, and I love the outdoors.
