Thank you for your interest in our UC Davis Endocrinology Fellowship.
This program is two years in length and emphasizes both clinical and research training; aiming to train and assist each fellow in achieving their unique career goals. The ultimate goal of our UC Davis Endocrinology Fellowship Program is to nurture, train and empower our physicians to become outstanding clinicians dedicated to improving the health of both their patients and communities.
Core Values
- Academic Excellence – Our fellows take pride in treating patients with complex medical conditions, and engage in a variety of research and quality improvement projects in healthcare with the support of outstanding faculty who cultivate academic excellence.
- Community – Our welcoming fellows, staff, and faculty create an atmosphere that promotes wellness for our healthcare providers and our patients.
- Humility – Our Endocrinology teams care for one of the most diverse patient populations in the nation, serving each patient and community with humility.
- Leadership – Our teams lead with service in mind, always accountable to others, and highly respectful of their teammates, patients, and community.
If our values and mission resonates with you, then please consider applying for our program, as we strive to achieve these goals every day. Not only are the numerous fellowship programs at UCD Health excellent, but Sacramento is also a great place to live – (Take a glance at our Sacramento Campus!)
While we are proud of our program’s unique accomplishments, the number one reason to come here is the people. We have a wonderful group of fellows, an incredible and diverse group of distinguished faculty, and supportive, friendly administrators and staff who all strive to help you make the most out of fellowship training.
