Adult & Pediatric Endocrinology
The Department of Pediatrics, Section of Endocrinology at Children’s Hospital Colorado provides comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for children with disorders of growth, puberty, thyroid function, adrenal function, calcium and phosphorus metabolism (including rickets), osteoporosis, and many other endocrine-related disorders. Over 5,000 visits are made to Children's Hospital Colorado from an eight-state surrounding area each year.
Education/Training Opportunities for Fellows
Prospective Fellows: The University of Colorado School of Medicine's Department of Pediatrics and Children's Hospital Colorado offer a three-year fellowship in pediatric endocrinology. The goal of the fellowship is to provide physicians who are board-eligible in pediatrics with in-depth training in endocrinology that will prepare them for a career in clinical or academic medicine.
Current Fellows: Current fellows at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus (AMC) Department of Pediatrics can shadow other fellowship programs. In addition, current fellows can rotate to other Children's Hospital Colorado (CHCO) campuses for elective rotations and shadowing.
Education/Training Opportunities for Residents
Current Residents: Training for residents in pediatrics involves intensive clinical training in all aspects of clinical pediatric endocrinology, as well as development of clinical and basic research skills. Endocrinology faculty lead residency career development workshops and didactic learning sessions, also known as Resident Academic Half Day, covering aspects of endocrinology critical for general pediatrics.
Education/Training for Medical Students
Current CU Anschutz Medical Students: Pediatric endocrinology is an integral component of the pediatric clerkship curriculum for third-year medical students at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Our faculty provide lectures in endocrinology as part of the clerkship's core lecture series. Additionally, an elective in pediatric endocrinology and diabetes is available for fourth-year medical students who have successfully completed a pediatric clerkship.
Visiting Residents/Fellows
Any visiting resident and fellow who wishes to visit CHCO for a clinical rotation with Pediatric Endocrinology should have a faculty sponsor and reach out to Andrea Reed, Trainee Coordinator/Onboarding Specialist, Office of Medical Staff Services, CHCO.
International Observers
Any international medical graduate hoping to experience the U.S. medical system should visit the CU Anschutz International Trainee Observership Program webpage for more details about the application process and requirements.
Undergraduate and High School Students
The Office of Medical Education and the Medical Staff Office do not approve or onboard undergraduate or high school students at CHCO due to patient privacy. This includes undergraduate and high school students of staff who currently work at or employed by CHCO. These learners must go through the Children's Colorado Volunteer Office. Please note, the volunteer program does not offer short term, summer, job training, internship, practicum, or medical shadowing volunteer opportunities.
