Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism

The Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at Johns Hopkins is proud to offer an ACGME accredited fellowship program since 1987. Our faculty include world renowned clinicians, researchers, and educators. They have become leaders in the endocrine community and cherish the opportunity to teach and mentor fellows towards productive and fulfilling careers. 

Program Director’s Welcome

Welcome to our fellowship’s home page! Thank you for your interest in our fellowship program. Below is a brief overview of our program. We invite you to explore the site to learn.  

The Broad Overview

We offer a 2-year ACGME fellowship program in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism. The program training includes outstanding clinical training, a comprehensive didactic curriculum delivered by our faculty and dedicated time to pursue research and scholarly activities. Within our program, fellows select one of two tracks upon which to continue their training: i) Clinical Scholars Track, and ii) Research Scholars track. 

The structure of the first year of fellowship is identical for both tracks. During the latter half of the first year, fellows choose which track they would like to pursue for the rest of their fellowship. Those who choose the Research Scholars track will apply for a slot in one of our institutional NIH-funded training grants (T32), which will support at least 2 additional years of research fellowship training. See our clinical training page for a sample rotation schedule of year 1.

As you can see our fellows work in a combination of inpatient and ambulatory settings with our faculty to get a broad-based, rigorous experience so that by the end of their first year, they are well on their way to becoming excellent clinical endocrinologists. A huge strength of our program is our faculty who have deep expertise in many different fields.

We require all fellows to complete a scholarly project that will be submitted for an abstract at a national meeting. We have created research blocks in the first year of fellowship so that fellows can find mentor(s), initiate projects, and engage in meaningful scholarly work throughout the rest of their fellowship. We are proud that our fellows are often awarded travel grants and oral presentation opportunities at national meetings. 

Recruitment to our fellowship program is conducted only through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP). Applications should be submitted via Electronic Residency Application system (ERAS).

We are committed to creating a comprehensive training program and a collegial environment where fellows can learn, work and grow. Hopefully you’ll get a sense of this as you explore our site further. Let me also put in a plug for our city, Baltimore. As a medium-sized city situated in the DC-Maryland-Virginia area it is well situated to offer urban and outdoor activities to relax and recharge. 

What makes our program great, more than anything, are our fellows. Every year we are fortunate to recruit a group of bright, collegial and talented internists who are eager to learn and contribute to our missions of clinical care, education and research. I cannot emphasize the latter point enough. We value the contributions our fellows make; every year I learn something new from them, and our patients benefit from their dedicated efforts.

Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions. And finally, we are thrilled that you’ve chosen our wonderful specialty and wish you a flourishing career as an endocrinologist. 

Sincerely, 
Aniket Sidhaye
