Excellence in teaching residents and endocrine fellows is evident in our clinical and research environments. The division provides clinical learning opportunities in a variety of endocrine conditions in inpatient service and outpatient settings.

Scholarly work in medical education is a noted area of strength. Faculty and learners regularly partner in projects through the quality improvement co-learning curriculum facilitated by McMaster’s Postgraduate Medical Education program.

The division is closely aligned with McMaster Children’s Hospital and supports all clinical activities in both in-patient and out-patient settings. Innovations have led to the development of specialized clinics including Type 2 diabetes and Indigenous health, after effects of cancer therapy, complex obesity, exercise medicine, lipids, bone health, and transgender health. The division also has a transition to adult care program to support the maintenance of optimal health for teens as they graduate beyond pediatric care.

Endocrine faculty also have expertise in basic science, translational, and clinical/epidemiological research. We mobilize this knowledge by providing opportunities for residents and fellows to pursue formal research training under our supervision which has resulted in a strong record of research contributions and scholarly output from our trainees.
