Division of Endocrinology
The Division of Endocrinology provides many training programs for both diabetes patients and future endocrinologists. A Self-Management Patient Education Program recognized by the American Diabetes Association is available as well as training and education for insulin pumps and other health-related issues for diabetic patients.
Residents and medical students can take advantage of specialized training through lectures and clinical rotations. Community education also occurs on topics of diabetes and osteoporosis.
The division's Diabetes Education Fellowship Program is an intensive, week-long program designed for health care professionals to explore diabetes patient education. Often individuals will use this week as a review for the Certified Diabetes Educator exam.

The division also offers a one-year Diabetes Fellowship Program for Primary Care Physicians. This innovative program began in 2004 to address the shortage of physicians who care for the growing number of diabetic patients in eastern North Carolina. Since its induction, six primary care physicians have successfully completed this diabetes intensive training program.
Research activities and clinical trials occur in diabetes, diabetic neuropathy, impotence, cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, non-healing diabetic foot ulcers and inhalant insulin therapy. The research activities can be discussed at 252.744.2630.
