Endocrinology & Diabetes

We are committed to the training of medical students, pediatric residents and endocrinology subspecialty residents.
Clinical rotations

The UBC Division of Pediatric Endocrinology offers 1-month clinical rotations for medical students, pediatric residents and endocrinology fellows. In general, UBC students and residents are given priority over non-UBC Canadian-trained trainees. We cannot accommodate non-Canadian-trained students or residents at this time.

For more information on doing a clinical rotation with us:

  • For UBC medical students, a 1-month clinical rotation is offered for 4th-year students only. This is organized through the usual rotation request channels.
  • For non-UBC, Canadian-trained medical students, a 1-month clinical rotation may be available, space permitting. Visit the UBC Visiting Student Elective Program (VSEP) page for more information about applying. Applications are made through the AFMC Student Portal; the specific criteria for UBC electives are here. In general, you must be in the final year of your medical studies to apply.
  • For UBC/BCCH pediatric residents, a 1-month rotation is mandatory in the first year, and a second elective rotation is possible in the third or fourth year.
  • For non-UBC, Canadian-trained pediatric residents, a 1-month elective may be available, space permitting. Visit the UBC Postgraduate Education Visiting Electives page for more information about applying.

Fellowship program

BC Children’s Hospital is offering a 2-year accredited subspecialty resident training program in Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism. We strongly encourage candidates to extend their training with a third year dedicated to clinical or basic research. We aim to attract and develop highly motivated, intelligent, and exceptional fellows who will become leaders in the field of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism.

Our fellowship program accepts applications from residents in Canadian pediatric training programs, as well as international applicants who have completed equivalent pediatric residency training. This fully accredited program offers a curriculum which meets and often exceeds Royal College of Physician and Surgeons of Canada standards. Competitive funding is available for both Canadian and foreign graduates.

If you would like further information about our program, or would like to apply for fellowship training in Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, please contact Program Director Dr. Laura Stewart (lstewart@cw.bc.ca) or Division Head Dr. Shazhan Amed (samed@cw.bc.ca). We are currently accepting applications for a July 1, 2022 start date.
