Endocrinology
The Division of Pediatric Endocrinology, through our partnership with the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, is a dynamic division offering students, residents and fellows a well-rounded education and training in a diverse range of pediatric endocrinology conditions. We care for children and young adults with diabetes, disorders of sexual differentiation, endocrine complications of malignancies, disorders of growth and puberty, pituitary disorders, adrenal disorders and thyroid disorders, including thyroid cancer. Our work is dedicated to providing the highest level of training, research and clinical care.
