Fellowship Program

Penn State Hershey Endocrinology and Diabetes and Penn State College of Medicine proudly offers a fellowship designed to prepare individuals for a career in Endocrinology.  It is the program’s goal to achieve an optimal balance between clinical training, didactic learning and research activities.  With this goal in mind, two tracks are currently available to maximize training opportunities for those accepted.  Our two-year fellowship is designed for individuals pursuing a career in clinical practice.  It focuses strongly on clinical and didactic training.  Those individuals wishing to pursue academic careers have an option for a three-year fellowship that is structured with research as a priority.  Our NIH-funded K30 program and our affiliation with the NIH-funded General Clinical Research Center make this an extraordinary opportunity for training in clinical research.  Both programs meet and exceed the requirements for board eligibility in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism.

We accept applications through ERAS and participate in the NRMP.  While all candidates will be considered, priority will be given to those pursuing academic endocrinology.  Qualified candidates will have graduated from medical school, completed an Internal Medicine residency at an approved institution, and will be eligible for a Pennsylvania state medical license.  We do accept J1 visas.  Penn State College of Medicine is an equal opportunity employer and the Division of Endocrinology accepts all qualified applications regardless of their gender, ethnic origin or religious background.
