UAB Endocrine Surgery (AAES) Fellowship

This one-year clinical fellowship will provide extensive exposure to standard and advanced/minimally invasive techniques in endocrine surgery, medical endocrinology, pathology, ultrasonography and laryngoscopy.

Fellows will acquire knowledge of normal and abnormal endocrine gland anatomy and physiology while developing excellence in clinical acumen for endocrinopathies. They will develop a better understanding for the appropriate application of genetic counseling and testing, obtain an appreciation for the molecular developments in endocrine malignancy and become aware of current controversies and areas of future exploration in endocrine surgery. By the end of the fellowship, fellows will be able to perform routine and complex endocrine operations appropriately and safely while understanding their own limitations and being willing to ask for help when necessary.
