Endocrinology Fellowship, Pediatric

Welcome to the Pediatric Endocrinology Fellowship Program at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital / Case Western Reserve University. We are delighted that you are exploring our program and considering joining a community deeply committed to excellence in clinical care, education, scholarship, and advocacy. Our fellowship offers rigorous, individualized training in a supportive and collaborative environment, preparing fellows to thrive as compassionate clinicians, innovative educators, and thoughtful leaders in pediatric endocrinology. With a strong emphasis on mentorship, evidence-based practice, and addressing the needs of diverse patient populations, we aim to cultivate physicians who are not only experts in their field, but who also find purpose and meaning in the work they do every day.

Mission Statement:

Our mission is to train the next generation of outstanding pediatric endocrinologists—expert clinicians, inspiring educators, and innovative, collaborative researchers—who provide exemplary, evidence-based, and equitable care; drive meaningful improvements in health systems; address the impact of social determinants of health; and emerge as leaders, scholars, and advocates shaping the future of our field.

Program Aims:

1. Develop exceptional clinician-educators and collaborative investigators. We prepare fellows to become outstanding teachers and innovative scholars through structured educational experiences, robust mentorship, and protected scholarly time, with particular strength in diabetes and clinical/translational research.
2. Train expert clinicians and multidisciplinary leaders. Our fellows develop advanced clinical expertise in pediatric endocrinology while learning to lead multidisciplinary teams that deliver exemplary, evidence-based, and equitable care across diverse clinical environments.
3. Cultivate future leaders in quality improvement and innovation. We equip fellows with the tools to identify gaps in care, design and implement meaningful quality improvement initiatives, and rigorously evaluate their impact on patient outcomes and systems of care.
4. Advance health equity through advocacy and community engagement. We train fellows to understand and address social determinants of health, care for underserved populations, and engage in advocacy efforts that promote equitable outcomes for children and families.

Trainees who complete our program are eligible to take the subspecialty board examination in pediatric endocrinology. Our program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and will accept two fellows per year.
