ACE: Endocrinology

School of Medicine

This course is designed to give our medical students exposure to the myriad of endocrine disorders seen by the faculty in the Vanderbilt Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. It is intended to give medical students the opportunity to evaluate patients with different endocrine disorders, with a focus on physical exam findings, laboratory data, and radiological data. In addition, medical and surgical management of these disorders will be taught. Didactics will supplement the clinical experience and include pathophysiology of these disorders. Both diabetes mellitus and non-diabetes endocrinopathies, including thyroid, pituitary, bone, calcium metabolism and adrenal disorders, will be incorporated into this course.
