MED 442 - ENDOCRINE AND METABOLISM

[152 Hours]

There are two pathways in this elective program. The first is designed to afford students a unique clinical opportunity to become thoroughly familiar with the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and management of the major endocrine disorders (diabetes mellitus, thyrotoxicosis, myxedema, hypo and hyperpituitarism, adrenocortical and gonadal diseases, and abnormalities of bone and calcium metabolism). The second pathway allows the student to become involved in a research program. The problem should be decided in advance through discussions with the faculty.
