Department and Faculty

Four doctors have a discussion in a conference room.

The Endocrinology department at Mayo Clinic's campus in Arizona diagnoses and treats disorders in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism. Mayo Clinic endocrinologists have varied specialized interests, including general endocrinology, diabetes, thyroid disease, pituitary disease, adrenal disease, and bone metabolism.

Mayo Clinic surgeons provide surgical expertise to our patients in minimally invasive parathyroid surgery, pituitary surgery, laparoscopic adrenal surgery, and pancreas transplantation.

Faculty

In addition to caring for patients in clinical practice, Mayo Clinic's faculty is committed to teaching and facilitating the growth of medical knowledge. Many of our faculty members have published and lectured extensively and hold officer positions in national endocrine societies.

From the program director

Krupa Doshi, M.D.The two-year, ACMGE-accredited Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism Fellowship program at Mayo Clinic's campus in Arizona provides a comprehensive training environment for fellows. As a small program with one fellow each year, the faculty members work closely with you as mentors throughout training. Our faculty also help tailor the program to your specific educational needs and career goals.

The structured didactic curriculum is designed to foster success in clinical practice and to ensure preparation for subspecialty board certification in endocrinology. The core of the program relies on staffing a diverse endocrinology practice at Mayo Clinic in Arizona. Rotations in general endocrinology, pediatric endocrinology, transgender care, thyroid ultrasound and thyroid cancer care, bariatric care, and endocrinology hospital consultation service provides multidisciplinary education for our fellows.

There are also many elective educational opportunities, including the ability to rotate at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, as well as global health activities that are funded through the Mayo International Health Program. Scholarly activity includes participating in quality improvement projects, submission of manuscripts to peer-reviewed journals, and presentations at national conferences. 

After successful completion of the Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism Fellowship, you will be a highly qualified endocrinologist ready for the demands of private practice or academics. 

Thank you for your interest in our program. I invite you to explore our website to learn more about the opportunities for training in endocrinology at Mayo Clinic.
