4th Year Medical Student Endocrine Elective
In their 4th year, medical students can choose to participate in the Endocrine Elective. The educational goals of the Endocrine Elective for 4th year medical students are:
- to develop the ability to independently evaluate, treat and monitor common endocrine disorders (diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, lipid abnormalities, metabolic bone disease, and calcium disorders)
- to be familiar enough with the less common endocrinopathies (adrenal disease, pituitary disease and gonadal dysfunction) to recognize the abnormality and initiate evaluation prior to sub-specialty consultation.
