Description
The University of Colorado (CU) Diabetes Fellowship Program was established in 2019 with the overarching goal of training physicians in outstanding care of patients with all types of diabetes, diabetes complications, preventive care, and associated comorbidities including obesity and lipid disorders. Most of the training is in the outpatient setting. Fellows integrate outpatient and inpatient clinical experiences, evidence-based practice and didactics, with discussion of relevant literature to develop appropriate management and follow-up plans for patients with diabetes referred for outpatient and inpatient consultation. This fellowship provides a balanced and structured experience in the basic care and specialized management of diabetes including use of diabetes technologies in diverse clinical settings. One fellow will be accepted for the 2026-2027 academic year. The fellowship experience includes: clinical experiences, didactics, and a scholarly activity in quality improvement and/or clinical research. The clinical experiences are mainly outpatient, at the University of Colorado Hospital, Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes, and the Rocky Mountain VA Medical Center. Fellows see patients in diabetes-focused continuity clinics and specialty clinics in diabetes in pregnancy, renal, cardiovascular/lipid, weight management, ophthalmology, and wound care. Fellows take a few weeks of call after-hours from home, supervised by the diabetes attending. Fellows also rotate on the inpatient Glucose Management Team at the University of Colorado Hospital to see complex patients with diabetes or stress hyperglycemia. Didactics include formal teaching sessions as well as informal clinic/bedside teaching, weekly case conferences, a monthly Diabetes Clinical Conference, and relevant Endocrinology and Medical Grand Rounds. Fellows are expected to present a case discussion at the Endocrinology Grand Rounds and participate actively in diabetes conferences. The scholarly activity is a diabetes-related quality improvement or clinical research project, and fellows present their work toward the end of the fellowship year. Attendance at the Practical Ways to Achieve Targets in Diabetes Care (ATDC) conference in July, and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Scientific Sessions in June, and the American College of Diabetes Annual Conference in the fall is funded and expected. Fellows meet regularly with the program director and associate director, and receive periodic evaluations. The fellowship program undergoes continuous improvement with feedback from fellows, faculty and staff. Graduates are eligible to become board-certified in Diabetology through the American College of Diabetology (www.acdiabetology.org). APPLY: We welcome graduates or impending graduates!
