BSD MED - Endocrinology - Cohen Research Staff

The Section of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism’s mission is to provide patients with the personalized, high-quality care they need and expect. We continually push the boundaries of treatment and discovery to develop individualized care plans that address each patient’s unique needs.

Our combination of adult and pediatric subspecialists positions us at the forefront of the diagnosis, treatment, and research of endocrine disorders across the lifespan. Many endocrine conditions begin in childhood and require thoughtful, coordinated care as patients transition into adulthood. Our integrated expertise allows us to provide comprehensive care throughout every stage of life.

Teaching, research, and excellence in clinical care are the cornerstones of our Section. Our highly regarded fellowship programs have a longstanding history of developing the next generation of leaders in endocrinology and healthcare. Through our commitment to innovation, education, and patient-centered care, we continue to advance in the field and improve outcomes for the patients and the community we serve.

We are seeking a skilled and compassionate Advanced Practice Provider (APP) to join our dynamic team within the Section of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism. The ideal candidate will play a vital role in providing comprehensive care to patients under the supervision or alternate supervision of attending physicians. The APP will provide high-quality inpatient care, particularly to those with diabetes and hyperglycemia.
