In this edition of “Medicine Matters” we focus on the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism. This Division has a storied past with many nationally and internationally renowned faculty members. The research in the Division has directly led to important breakthroughs in diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, pituitary disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, osteoporosis and many others. Members of the Division are leaders of Endocrine Societies and have recently been awarded prestigious lifetime achievement awards. Additionally, education and clinical programs are world-class and have been repeatedly recognized with national awards. I am sure that you will be impressed with the depth and breadth of activities in the Division. I would also urge you to read about one of the most exciting developments in the care of patients with diabetes; the first interoperable, automated insulin dosing system. This revolutionary system was recently described in the New England Journal of Medicine and will have profound impacts on the care of patients with diabetes.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, ideas, thoughts or if I can be of any help.
