Diabetology Fellowship

Fellows will be certified and trained on the insertion and removal technique of the Eversense Implantable Continuous Glucose Monitor.

1. The program will feature a longitudinal experience that can be modified to the specific goals of the fellow. Fellows are projected to spend about 60-80% of their time in the outpatient setting, and 20-40% in the inpatient setting. The clinical settings will take place out of Hoag’s Mary & Dick Allen Diabetes Centers, Hoag Hospitals. The fellow will see patients with T1D, T2D, and Gestational diabetes. Fellows will also spend time working with Hoag’s Metabolism and Weight Management Program, Pediatric Endocrinology, and High-Risk OB-GYN clinics for insulin-requiring pregnant mothers.

2. Fellows are projected to spend 20-40% of their time in the inpatient setting, working with the Inpatient Diabetes RN Educators at Hoag Hospitals in Irvine and Newport Beach

Fellows will engage in clinical or quality improvement (QI) research projects, with resources to pursue their research interests. They will receive mentorship from faculty members and have opportunities to present their findings at national conferences and publish in peer-reviewed journals. Examples of recent diabetes clinical trials at the Center include three automated insulin delivery system trials in the Type 2 Population (Tandem, Medtronic, and Sequel Twiist), retatrutide for obesity in type 2 diabetes, tirzepatide in the T1D population, a novel endoscopic procedure to manage T2D (Endogenex), and a novel GAD-65 antibody therapy (Diamyd) to delay the onset of diabetes. The program encourages innovative research that can contribute to advancements in diabetes care and management. All Hoag facilities, inpatient and outpatient, incorporate a common EHR (Epic), which facilitates health data management and enables opportunities for population health.

Fellows will participate in:

• Bi-monthly inpatient glycemic council.

• Weekly didactic teaching lectures by program faculty will cover advanced topics in diabetology, including the latest research, clinical practices, and emerging technologies.

• The fellow will be compensated at the PGY4 salary level.

• Benefits include medical/vision/dental insurance, professional liability coverage, disability coverage, and paid time off.

• Travel accommodations and reimbursements are granted for the fellow to attend either the ADA, ACD, or AACE Annual Conference. Fellows will also attend Hoag’s annual diabetes conference.
