Pediatric Endocrinology - Home

The fellowship in Pediatric Endocrinology is a three year accredited program providing comprehensive training in clinical patient management and guidance in the development of research skills. The fellowship is at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and based at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Research Center, Bethesda (NIH-CRC). The NICHD program is based at our 250-bed hospital devoted exclusively to treating patients on clinical trials. Over one thousand trials are ongoing. The clinical center maintains clinical research protocols investigating the treatment of adrenal and pituitary tumors, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, precocious puberty, idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis, Cushing’s syndrome, obesity, and others. The fellow gains critical skills in the construction and execution of clinical research projects while learning about some of the more rare pediatric endocrine disorders.
