Commitment to Research and Teaching
As part of a major health care system, Mount Sinai Health System, we are a teaching and researching facility as well. Our pediatric endocrinology specialists conduct research to offer new ways to help our young patients. Our basic science research provides insights that can be translated to the clinical care of children. We focus on obesity, growth, thyroid disease, diabetes and metabolism, and adrenal steroid disorders. Our physicians regularly contribute to peer-reviewed publications and present findings at national and international meetings. We are also training tomorrow’s pediatric specialists. Graduates of our Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-approved fellowship program are eligible to apply for board certification in pediatric endocrinology.
