The expanded capabilities allow the division to remain active in patient care, teaching students and residents, providing educational seminars and CME programs, training endocrinology fellows, and continuing established research programs while developing new ones. Clinical activity continues to increase. All forms of endocrine diseases are managed, with special emphasis on patients with thyroid disease, and diabetes mellitus.
