The Endocrine Division provides care for patients with hormonal disorders such as diabetes, thyroid disease, osteoporosis, pituitary gland tumors, cholesterol problems, and infertility.

The Endocrine Division also conducts research on hormonal diseases and on the function of the normal endocrine system. A wide-ranging teaching program instructs medical students, residents, and fellows in the care of patients with hormonal disorders and prepares fellows for careers in endocrine research and practice.

The Endocrine Division's Program Directors, led by a rotating Division Chief, takes primary responsibility for the teaching program. This group also assures coordination between the several Units within the Endocrine Division in their operation of several clinical practices and research programs.

The participating Units include the Diabetes Unit, the Endocrine Unit, the Laboratory of Molecular Endocrinology, the Lipid Metabolism Unit, the Neuroendocrine Unit, the Thyroid Unit, and the Reproductive Endocrine Unit. The clinical and research programs of the individual Units are described on their respective home pages.
