Education Materials

Clinical Endocrinology Conference:  This two-hour, weekly conference comprises a formal, didactic section in the first hour and the discussion of challenging endocrine cases in the second hour.  On a monthly basis, part of the second hour is dedicated to the presentation of selected recent, timely articles by the fellows in a journal club format.

Core Endocrine Laboratory Conference:  In this weekly conference, endocrine tests are discussed and correlated with clinical data.  This conference provides both clinical and basic science education since basic biochemistry and physiology related to the endocrine system are frequently discussed within this context.

Diabetes Journal Club:  In this bi-weekly conference, relevant articles are presented and discussed among members of the diabetes team (physicians, nurse educators, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, and dietitian). Fellows are required to present at journal club 2-4 times per year.

Endocrinology Research Conference:  In this monthly conference, members from the Division of Endocrinology or other basic or clinical divisions and departments present their endocrine-related research data.

Diabetes Research Conference:  This monthly conference is held jointly between Hershey and University Park campuses by video connection.  Investigators at both campuses, along with invited outside speakers, present basic science and clinical research in diabetes.  Past seminars are archived on line.

Basic Science Conference:  In this monthly conference, Dr. Michael Verderame discusses the clinical application of molecular biology techniques.
