The Department of Pediatrics in the Duke University School of Medicine is seeking a physician at the Associate Professor or Professor level to serve as Chief for the Division of Endocrinology. Proven leadership and excellence in clinical care, education, research and administrative experience are required. Candidates must have a Doctorate of Medicine (or equivalent) and be board-certified in Pediatric Endocrinology. Candidates must also have or be eligible for a North Carolina medical license.

Priorities for the Division Chief of Endocrinology include developing innovative patient programs, mentoring trainees, including medical students and residents and enhancing research programs. The division currently includes six faculty. Our faculty and fellows provide consultative care to patients with the entire range of hormonal and metabolic endocrine disorders on the inpatient ward and in daily outpatient clinics at Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center, Lenox Baker Children's Hospital, Duke Children's Specialty Services of Raleigh, and Duke Children's of Apex. Our clinical staff includes nurse clinicians, a certified diabetes nurse educator, a diabetes social worker and diabetes and general endocrine nutritionists.

Our faculty and fellows actively collaborate with members of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Pediatric Cardiology Intensive Care Unit (PCICU), and Bone Marrow Transplant Unit. This permits direct involvement in the management of children with diabetic ketoacidosis, neuroendocrine emergencies, neonatal hypoglycemia, post-transplant endocrinopathy, and other critical electrolyte disturbances, and neonatal thyroid and adrenal disorders.

Physician training at the resident and medical student levels is an integral and essential component of the division's mission, and all faculty excel at bedside teaching. We have a robust three-year fellowship program that is fully accredited by the American Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Our educational goals are to train the future physician-scientists and academic leaders in pediatric endocrine disorders, fund young researchers working in basic science and patient-oriented research, and train physicians in family-based, patient-centered clinical services.

The faculty and fellows in the Division of Endocrinology have a wide variety of research interests in clinical, translational, and basic investigation related to childhood endocrine disorders. Duke has a strong tradition of interdisciplinary research collaboration; our fellows and faculty currently collaborate with colleagues in the Duke Departments of Medicine, Biomedical Engineering, Pharmacology and Cancer Biology, and Immunology and have appointments in the Duke Molecular Physiology Institute. Pediatric endocrine fellows also have the option to work with faculty at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in Research Triangle Park, NC.

The Department of Pediatrics at Duke has a long history of excellence in patient care, graduate and undergraduate medical education, and clinical, laboratory and health services research.
