Annual Letter to Program Directors
from Mark Stolar, MD, EFF Board President
On behalf of the Endocrine Fellows Foundation, I would like to welcome back and thank those program directors whose fellows have participated in EFF sponsored activities in the past year, as well as introduce the varied EFF initiatives to those of you who may not be familiar with our organization.
2020 and 2021 were a challenge for all of us in medical education but EFF has successfully adapted our programming to meet the safety and time constraints of our fellows.
Our peer reviewed research grant program remains robust, and in 2021 we awarded $ 50,000 in grant funding to 10 fellows and young investigators. I strongly encourage those of you unfamiliar with our grant program to have your fellows apply for grant funding for mentor guided projects. Program Details
The 2021 Fellows Forum on Metabolic Bone Diseases before the ASBMR Annual Meeting and our 2021 Bone Preceptorial were held virtually this year and were exceptionally well received. For those fellows with a career interest in bone metabolism, these offerings bring a high level of interactive expertise that is unique for fellows experience. Program Details

Our Diabetes Obesity and Metabolism Research Forum was also held virtually in with an exceptional faculty and strong fellow oral and poster presentations, and we look forward to expanding this offering in 2022. Registration for this program is now open. Program Details

Our Vision
EFF is an organization dedicated to the career development of fellows in training and nascent young investigators. Our vision is through preceptorships, symposiums, and research grant support. We support trainees in endocrinology to further advance their career goals and to strengthen our subspecialty.
Our Goals
Enhancing the knowledge base addressing emerging content areas during the fellowship training period. Fostering new thought leader development to address current and future gaps in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism. Bridging the gap between the completion of a fellowship program and a future career in academia, research, or clinical practice.
EFF Programs
Diabetes and Obesity Research Forum
A Continuing Medical Education Program for Junior Faculty and Fellows organized in conjunction with Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Fellows present their fellowship projects to experts of the field who provide feedback and valuable critiques. Expert faculty also present on trending topics in Diabetes.
Diabetes Mellitus Preceptorship
Held at the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center at Columbia University the program exposes fellows to a diverse scope of diabetes mellitus research initiatives and cutting-edge clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Fellows gain valuable insight from the faculty’s experience in a vigorous clinical research program as well as in an active practice.
Metabolic Bone Disease Preceptorship
Held at the Columbia University Medical Center, Division of Endocrinology the program provides fellows an in-depth exposure to metabolic bone diseases through clinical case discussions, journal club, and research seminars. The discipline of clinical investigation is introduced along with individual tutorials on protocol design, acquisition, interpretation of data, and statistical testing.
Forum on Metabolic Bone Diseases
Held in conjunction with the ASBMR Annual Meeting the program engages fellows training in osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases in the United States and International programs. The intensive forum of plenary lectures, breakout sessions and poster presentations combined with the ASBMR Annual Meeting offers a unique learning opportunity.
