Internal Medicine — Rotation Detail
Endo/Diab at Jahra
Tutors
Rotation Coordinator
The Endocrinology rotation in Jahra Hospital will be a mix of inpatient and outpatient activities. Endocrine is mainly an outpatient speciality contrary to internal medicine, however, we try to create a balanced outpatient and inpatient schedule so that residents are adequately exposed to both.
For the consult service, more than 70% of the cases we see are diabetes. In the clinic, on the other hand, we see a variety of cases including thyroid, diabetes, pituitary, adrenal, parathyroid & calcium, reproductive...ect. The clinics are divided into general Endo clinic and specialized clinics. The current specialized clinics are: insulin pump clinic, thyroid ultrasound & FNAB, and obesity clinics.
The rotation and the schedule can be flexible. If a resident finds him/herself more interested in one clinic or field of endocrinology than another, we can accommodate their needs. This also includes their weaknesses or areas where they need to improve as we can focus on those areas.
Residents will be contacted by the rotation coordinator one week before the start of their rotation when they will receive the rotation schedule and instructions.
