Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism

The Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism offers a two year fellowship in Pediatric Endocrinology.  The trainee will participate in all inpatient and outpatient clinical activities, including children admitted for specialized testing to our Clinical Investigation Unit.  Training is provided in the diagnosis and management of children with a wide spectrum of endocrinological disorders including disturbances of growth, thyroid, puberty, lipid, calcium, adrenal and pituitary dysfunction.  As well, we follow over 400 children with Types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus.  Our newly opened Pediatric Insulin Pump Centre, the first in Quebec, provides in-depth training opportunities for the residents.  The trainee can gain additional first hand experience managing these patients while attending our summer camp for children with diabetes.  Our weekly schedule includes numerous academic activities such as journal clubs and small group teaching.

The first 12 months are primarily spent at the Montreal Children's Hospital mostly in the clinical setting.  One month is spent in the clinical endocrine laboratory and another at the adult hospitals in their outpatient endocrine clinics.  The second year of training is mostly devoted to clinical or basic research activities.  We are able to offer training beyond these first two years for individuals seeking careers in academic centres.  Candidates may opt to combine their training in Pediatric Endocrinology with an MSc in Biostatistics or Education, for example.
