Fellowships

The Fellowship Program in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism is designed to provide intensive research and clinical training for physicians who are board-certified or board-eligible in Internal Medicine. The fellowship lasts two years and fulfills the requirements for certification in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism by the American Board of Internal Medicine. A third year may be arranged for fellows with exceptional research skills.

The major aim of the program is to prepare physicians for careers in academic medicine by providing a firm grounding in the fundamentals of Endocrinology and Metabolism. Recognizing that career goals change, the program is flexible and highly responsive to the needs of the individual throughout the fellowship.

During each year of the program, all fellows undertake clinical and research training, the relative percentages of which vary depending on the fellow's interest and abilities.

The program is established at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, a closely knit complex comprised of a hospital, an ambulatory care center, an eye institute, a cancer center, a center on aging and a number of unique research facilities. In addition, UAMS has affiliations with the Central Arkansas Veteran's HealthCare System and the Arkansas Children's Hospital.

Before we will offer you a position, we require the submission of three letters of recommendation from medical references, one of whom should be the director of your residency program. Please note, we give careful attention to letters of recommendation and personal statements. If your completed application is received by the deadline you will be considered for a personal interview.  We participate in the National Residency Matching Program for Endocrinology. 

Appointments are generally made at least one year in advance. Stipends are determined by the number of years of training after the M.D. degree.

We very much appreciate your interest in our program and welcome your application.
