The Division of Endocrinology offers a two-year ACGME-accredited fellowship training for physicians who completed a residency in internal medicine at an ACGME-accredited program. Fellows may add a third year to their fellowship for additional research training.
The fellowship prepares physicians for careers in academic medicine or clinical practice by providing a firm grounding in the fundamentals of endocrinology and metabolism. The program offers clinical training, both in the outpatient and inpatient venues, as well as outstanding research mentorship by nationally known research faculty. On average, fellows have 18 months of clinical rotations and six months of research over the span of two years.
J-1 is the preferred visa for IU School of Medicine GME training. Upon confirmation by the GME Office, our program may consider candidates under the following visa categories:
- J-2 accompanied with Employment Authorization Document
- H-4 accompanied with Employment Authorization Document
- F-1 in OPT accompanied with Employment Authorization Document (change to J-1 or H-1B is required after one year of residency)
- H-1B in these specific circumstances:
- H-1B employees already in the United States and training under H-1B status with another employer and pursuing a change of employer (portability).
- Candidates currently in the U.S. in other non-immigrant categories (F-1, H-4, J-1, J-2) who are pursuing change of status to H-1B from within the U.S.
- O-1
- Other visas may be considered
All employment offers extended to individuals who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents must be contingent upon the applicant's ability to secure an appropriate visa and corresponding employment authorization to work in the United States.
