Overview
Here in the Endocrinology division our mission is to
educate, train and inspire students, physicians and
Allied Health Professionals in Endocrinology & Metabolism
and related sciences of Internal Medicine. Our goal
is to provide quality, compassionate, cost conscious
care to patients and their families while serving as
an advocate for their health.
 The
Division provides teaching in the area of endocrinology
and metabolism to medical students and residents. Faculty
members teach in lecture format, small group learning
sessions, and also in one to one teaching sessions.
Medical students may elect to take Endocrinology as
an elective rotation. During this rotation, they spend
four weeks with the faculty members in the inpatient
and outpatient setting. Dr. Gossain is the Chair of
CDG for the Metabolic, Endocrine & Reproductive
Endocrinology of the Problem Based Learning course and
serves as a “mentor” for undergraduate minority
students. Dr. Aldasouqi is a distinguished faculty physician
and clinical researcher who draws students and residents
into productive research projects.
The
Division conducts clinical research and participates
in basic research in collaboration with basic science
faculty. Studies include the Global Hypopituitary Control
and Complications Study (HypoCCS) which is part of an
international collaboration project to evaluate the
effects of growth hormone replacement in growth hormone
deficient adults. Other studies include an evaluation
of a Shared Decision Making model to improve the care
of diabetes. Divisional, and a study to evaluate the
utility of MRI in the early detection of diabetic microangiopathy.
A recently funded study will investigate the prevalence
of diabetes/cardiovascular risk factors and the effective
of risk factor modification among UAW-GM employees.
Other important projects deal with the use of glycosylated
hemoglobin in gestational diabetes, uric acid measurement
in diabetic ketoacidosis, the effectiveness of insulin
pumps in community settings, dysphagia in goiter, and
fatty acid profiles in diabetics, The outcome of the
studies outlined above will advance knowledge, and depending
on the results, may result in improved treatment of
patients affected by the endocrine disorders being studied.
